Abstract

The research aims to estimate the efficiency of the agricultural technical and economic resources used in the production of faba bean crop in Ismailia Governorate and to determine the optimal combination of productive resources used in production. A questionnaire specially prepared for this purpose, where 100 farms were selected randomly, 30 farms (one feddan or less), 35 farms (greater than one feddan and less than three feddans), 35 farms (three feddans). It was found that there are 30 farms who achieved full technical competence. where they were distinguished With a constant return on capacity. which means that the actual combination of resources is the same as the optimum. where the capacity efficiency reached one. 65 farms were characterized by an increase in the return on capacity, meaning that these farms could increase the amount of resources used and obtain a greater amount of production, while 5 farms were characterized by a decrease in return on capacity. Capacity. which means reducing the resources used in it to achieve full technical efficiency, as it was found that 34 farms consider their farms self-sufficient (self-referential), and 66 farms are considered farms they are a reference for other farms.
