Abstract

P





omegranate product in Khash city causes this city enjoys a considerable advantage in terms of the production of this product. In this paper the performance of Khash township pomegranate producers was evaluated with a comprehensive analysis of supercharged performance. In this regard, the relevant information to complete the questionnaire in 2015 pomegranate growers in Khash city, were collected based on a comprehensive analysis method and the desired results were compared with analysis ubiquitous super-efficiency. In general, the results showed that the average level of technical efficiency in the model assuming constant returns to scale (CCR method) 0.46% and the mean level of technical efficiency in the model, the variable returns to scale (BCC method) 0.68%. Also pomegranate orchards under different levels of technical efficiency is evident that the major cause of inefficiency in the management of inputs, It is suggested that, with proper management and allocation of inputs used in the vineyards, pomegranate production efficiency can be increased.
