Measuring production factors productivity in Fars province sugar beet farms

Production is hard to achieve by increasing cropping area due to limited water resources. So, increased yield per unit area may be the solution to increase production. Investigating productivity of production factors is very important in this context. The objective of this study is to measure the pr...
