| Abstract | ||
| In this study, total factor productivity(TFP) growth of sugar beet in Iran during 1989-1990 through 2007-2008 was analyzed, using Nonparametric Malmquist approach. So, amounts of inputs usage including seeds, fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, labor, water use and acreage in one hand and output of sugar beet production on the hand were taken into account. Results showed that sugar beet production acquired good TFP growth (6 percent) in the study period. | ||
