Economic efficiency of production systems in the Gharb irrigated perimeter (Morocco) affected by access to water resources [Poster]
2009
Ce travail qui a pour objectifs la comparaison des indices d’efficiences economiques des exploitations agricoles irriguees. La methode Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) a ete adoptee. Un echantillon de 49 exploitations a servi de base a cette etude. Il englobe des exploitations avec des systemes de production differents (Maraichers, cerealiers, agrumicoles et sucriers) et des modes d’irrigation differents (Localise, aspersion et gravitaire). L’analyse des donnees montre que parmi les exploitations les plus efficientes on trouve en meme temps celles qui «souffrent» d’un manque d’eau d’irrigation (zone du Beht) et celles qui ont un acces illimite a la ressource (pompages prives au niveau de la zone cotiere). 73% des exploitations de l’ensemble de l’echantillon sont inefficientes. Ce qui montre que la majorite des agriculteurs ne maitrise pas la technologie disponible. The aims of the present study were to calculate and compare the economic efficiency indices of irrigated farms and the level of valorisation of the irrigation water used by the main crops grown in the Gharb perimeter. To this end, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model was used to calculate efficiency indices. The survey covered 49 farms with different farming systems (vegetables, citrus crops, cereals, forage, sugar beet and sugar cane) and different irrigation systems (drip, sprinkler and gravity). The results showed that the most efficient farms were those that "suffered" from lack of irrigation water and not those that had "unlimited" access to the water resource (private pumping). On the other hand, 73% of the farms surveyed were inefficient, indicating that the majority of farmers do not use the available technology correctly.
