Analysis of Farm income and productivity costs of honey bee rearing and efficient Projects it's in the Syrian Coast


Abstract in English

This study has been conducted on Syrian coastal area in 2013 season, aimed to analyze the cost of honey production and Farm income `at the Apiaries level, in addition to measure its net returns and economic efficiency. A field questioner was applied to obtain elementary data of a random sample consisted of (304) of Apiary units. The results show that beekeeping is one of the economically viable agricultural projects, where most of the apiaries in the sample were able to achieve a positive net return as much, on average, about (405 834) SP / promiscuous, while its value was estimated at the hive level by about (7120) SP. It was found that the majority of apiaries in the study sample (87.8%) were able to achieve positive earnings, While the ratio (12.2%) exposed of the loss, and realized negative revenues . The results of the investment evaluation and financial analysis showed to the economic efficiency of the apiaries , reaching gross margin of the hive (11237.5) SP/year, and ratio of costs to revenue (62.9%), the profit ratio to total costs (59%), and general economic efficiency (1.59 ), and the Payback period (1.69) years.
