In spite of an increase of farming experiance, producers are still facing many obstacles which affect negatively on their final income. It is clear from this study the decrease of productivity per unit area of wheat and cotton crops and high production cost, caused decrease of the final income. Most of the farmers, were not satisfied with cultivation of these crops, due to increase of production cost, unsuitable price, lack of cultivation requirements and the prices rising…..etc. Also, the extension services offered to the farmers are poor and not at the required level. That was the most important reason for the decrease of the productivity. Consequently, it is possible to develop the agricultural activity by improving the extension services and decreasing the prices of production requirement and improving the selling prices. Therefore, it is necessary to decrease the production costs of wheat and cotton crops, increase their productivity, improve and activate the extension units work and spread awareness and knowledge about modern methods of cultivation as well as ways of decreasing the productivity costs, the factors which help to increase the productivity from unit area, and acquainting the farmers to other crops, which could be alternative crops in the future.

The research study was conducted in Hama Governorate during the agricultural season of 2010 - 2011 through a stratified random sample of 201 farmers who cultivate irrigated durum wheat in the research area in order to measure the yield gap, the pr oductive efficiency divergence among farmers and to determine the effect of using different amounts of the productive factors in the production process. It also aimed to determine the contribution level of these factors in the gap formation, as well as to determine the production phase in which farmers of the sample stand. Descriptive analysis methodology in addition to the multiple regression technique were used to estimate production functions. Results showed a yield gap up to 32.6% between farmers in the first phase and those who are in the fourth phase. The reason why productivity in large size farms was higher than in small size farms that the second production stage, the profitable one occurred in large size farms, while the first production phase occurred in small economic capacity farms. So, another combination of the production inputs can be used in order to reach a marginal product value which equals the price value and to increase the production level plus the productivity of the farmers in the research area.
The study included the reality of marketing crop sugar beet in Syria in general, and in al ghabb 's area , in particular, has shown results that the problems and difficulties of marketing sugar beet back to the non-compliance of farmers date of Agr iculture appropriate and space devoted to the cultivation of the crop sugar beet and assessed by the General Authority to manage and develop Al Ghabb's area, in addition to the failure of the extension units in turn supply the deadline cards provide timely and sufficient quantities to farmers as a result of the process control system of favoritism in the distribution of cards supply extension units. In addition to the low energy manufacturing to the sugar mill, and its inability to absorb the quantities produced in excess of the agricultural plan, along with breakdowns lab frequent result gave the mechanisms used in it, and the need for frequent maintenance, and low efficiency of some sections of the lab, and the control system favoritism determine the degree of sweetness, as shown by the results Search also "high production and marketing costs for sugar beet crop and is higher than its price.
Sahl Al-Ghab zone is characterized by the availability of natural and human appropriate conditions for the cultivation of cotton, and it's one of the most desired agricultural crops for export, in addition to the big need for local textile mills wi th both of its public and private sectors, and it's also one of the strategic and social crops. However, between 2005-2013, cotton cultivation fell back in this region to be replaced mainly by wheat in addition to other crops, and the main reasons for this decline is that there is no proportionality between the price of cotton and production costs, as the price of the kilogram of cotton rose from 31 S.P in 2005 to 100 S.P in 2013, while the price of the liter of diesel – the main factor in the cultivation of cotton – rose from 25 S.P in 2005 to 60 S.P in 2013. Through this research, We knew the reasons for the decrement of cotton cultivation in Sahl Al-Ghab zone and choosing the wheat and nothing else to replace it, especially that wheat cultivation didn't achieve better economic returns of cotton. On the contrary, it had negative results in terms of non-application of the agricultural cycle and the spread of diseases such as wheat rust disease that spreaded in Sahl Al-Ghab zone in the last years and which reflected negatively on production.
The study was conducted in the eastern region of Syria to know the extent of cultivation development of wheat and cotton production and the factors affecting these crops during 1996-2010. The results showed that the effect of time on the productio n and productivity of wheat was not changed statistically, while the cotton area was decreased significantly during the study period. The total production of wheat was also affected significantly and positively by cultivated area and planting costs per hectare, and negatively by purchase price, while the production of cotton was affected significantly and positively by costs and purchase prices. According to the geographical region, the results showed that the production in the eastern region was significantly affected by Al-Raqqa production for wheat and cotton crops and Al-Hassake production for wheat crop. However, wheat productivity at Deir Ezzor was significantly superior compared to Al-Raqqa and Al-Hassake. The study recommended expanding the cultivation of wheat and cotton and support and expand the role of agricultural extension.
Legumes crops have a vital role in nutrition and in crop rotation. This study was conducted to assess the productivity and economic efficiency of some legumes crops (feed-fodder) in Salamieh district, Hama governorate, during 2011/2012 season. A r andom sample of 110 farmers were selected according to an application prepared for the purpose of the research. The results showed a high cost of the seed up to 19.76% of the total costs, while the cost of harvesting achieved up to 36% of the total costs, due to manual harvesting. The lentils and grass pea were profitable for the farmers at Salamieh district, where the average of overall rate of profit was (7.67, 21.92%) and the rate of the changing asset was (1.32 and 1.53) S.P. respectively. This is a proof of the investment efficiency of the available resources and production increase. While the profitability of chickpeas and vetch did not exceed 4%, and the rates of the changing asset were (1.21،1.26) S.P. respectively. Also, the results showed that the economic efficiency of all crops was greater than one. Grass peas had the highest economic efficiency (1.22), which indicates the efficiency of farmers in the use of fixed and variable capital. and thus, the feasibility of cultivation legumes crops in Salamieh. This study concluded to expand grass pea cultivation, as long as marketing market is available, also, improved varieties for automated harvesting, and high-productivity, to improve the farmers income and productivity.
