Abstract

This research aims to estimate and analyze the function of rice production in Najaf area Governorate through analyzing the relation between inputs and outputs, then to estimate a technical and economical efficiency in using the resources of production through their ideal elements. Also to limit the ideal standards in using the elements of production. This research depends on cross section data which presents the size of production in 2009 season, presented by (72) farms in the area. Statistical analyses used Cobb-Doglas function to clarify the relationship between inputs and out puts.The economic derivative was calculated in order to identify the pattern of the usage of Capital and labor resources . The optimum combination of these were found by using (131) hour/donum ,and(400285) dinar/donum,and the optimum production stands at(777.7) kg/donum,while the average production for each donum was (575)kg/donum.
