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 random 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.

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.
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 produ ction 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 main objective was to study the economic efficiency of Durum wheat in AL-Hassaka governorate during the growing season of 2010/2011 through a stratified random sample included 119 farmers distributed in 10% of the target villages. The results showed that Duma 1 variety had achieved the highest proportion in relation to the rate of adoptions and the highest adoption rate compared with other varieties cultivated with irrigated Durum wheat in ALHassaka governorate. Sham 3 variety had also the highest adoption rate (47.47%) and widely distributed compared with other varieties Durum wheat cultivated as a rain fed crop. The results also showed that the net return of irrigated Durum wheat was in AL-malkia and amounted to 1653.17 Syrian Liras/ Dunum while losing -261.50 Syrian Liras per Donum in AL-kamshli. Duma 1 variety reached the highest net return (2443.58 Syrian Liras per Donum) of irrigated Durum wheat. The net return of rain fed Durum wheat was observed in AL-Malkia and amounted to 792.92 Syrian Liras per Donum while losing -158.18 Syrian Liras per Donum in AL-kamshli. Sham 7 variety had the highest net return of rain fed Durum wheat and amounted to 1847.48 Syrian Liras per Donum.
The aim of research was to study the impact of price policy on the economic return of soft and durum wheat and barley farmers in Al-Hassakah governorate to determine the extent of government intervention in supporting the prices of these crops. Sc ales of nominal protection and effective coefficients were used to analyze the actual difference between domestic prices and global prices of product, and the net impact of the policy on output and input. A total of 208 farmers from 44 villages were selected on the basis of simple class sample. Results of the analysis showed that the values of nominal protection and effective protection coefficients for soft and durum wheat and barley amounted 1.08, 1.21, 1.97, and 1.17, 1.33, 2.26 respectively, Thus, a clear government intervention was observed to support crop prices and the overall effect of the policy indicated a positive incentive for soft and durum wheat price with higher subsidies for barley price through year 2011.
يمثل القطاع الزراعي احد الركائز الرئيسية في تحقيق التنمية الاقتصادية والاجتماعية في سورية إلا أنه يعاني من العديد من المشكلات أهمها ضآلة الدخول الزراعية وبالتالي قصور عملية التمويل الذاتي عند المزارعين .
