Abstract

Despite the efforts made by the state in the field of olive cultivation. olive cultivation in Libya in general and in the Kufra region in particular suffers from many problems that have led to fluctuation in olive production. The research aims to study the economic efficiency of olive production in the Kufra region in Libya. The research also relied on the use of descriptive and quantitative analysis methods. To achieve the research objectives. secondary and primary data were relied upon. in addition to the sustainability of the data envelopment analysis (DEA) model. The results indicated an increase in olive cultivation area in Libya at an annual growth rate of about 2.17% and a decrease in production at an annual rate of about 0.51%. The results indicate that the economic efficiency of using productive elements that the economic efficiency index for both the cultivated area and the amount of municipal fertilizer is greater than one. Which indicates a high level of economic efficiency for using these elements. while we note that the amount of chemical fertilizer. quantity of pesticides. and number of fruit trees is less than one. Which indicates a low level of economic efficiency for using these mentioned elements. as it was shown that the value of the marginal product of the production element decreases from the unit price of the element.
