| Title : | DETERMINATION OF GREENHOUSES PERFORMANCE USING DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS |
| Abstract : | The landraces of common bean are cultivated all over Kosovo, along with Reviews of the performance of agricultural products are an important factor and effective in increased production. The purpose of this study was to measure the technical efficiency of greenhouse owners based on a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model and to determine the factors affecting their performance. The statistical population of this study included 125 greenhouse owners of Somesara Township. Due to the limitation of respondents, 83 questionnaires were collected. The questionnaire included performance and the greenhouses and greenhouse factors affecting it as well as the personal and professional characteristics of the greenhouse owners. The results showed that the mean of technical greenhouse owners was 51%, and most greenhouses (65.1%) were in the group of less than 50 in terms of efficiency. By comparing total amounts of each auxiliary input, it was determined that the greatest weakness related to personnel costs or work force, and thereafter to the cost of pesticides. Lowest weakness was attributed to the cost of fertilizer. Therefore, based on our results, we can say that the implementation of appropriate programs to increase the efficiency of greenhouse owners and the appropriate use of production inputs can increase production and decrease costs. |
