| Abstract | ||||
| This research objective mainly to measure efficiency of resources management in Arab agricultural sector, during the average of The studying period, the first period 2002 – 2006,and the second period 2007 -2011, Has been used statistical methods, such as means, percentages, growth rate, Analysis of Variance ) ANOVA), and Technical efficiency Analysis by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), To achieve the study purpose, data were collected mainly From the Arab Organization of Agricultural development in particular Arab agricultural statistics yearbook and (FAOSTAT) of the United Nations, reports, theses, books, and web sites of internet were also utilized for this purpose. The most important results of the research are: 1-The average of individual from available water was less than 1000 m3 in Arab countries, except Mauritania, and Iraq. The water stress was about 95, 69% it refers to high stress of Arab water, Except Djibouti, and Mauritania. 2- Shows study the annual growth rate for Gross agricultural product in Arab countries during the average of the studying period 2002 – 2011 about 8, 2%, Ranged between a minimum of around 3, 4% in Saudi Arabia, and a maximum of around 17% in Jordan, it was showed that contributed percent of agricultural percent in domestic product was 6, 76% Ranged between a minimum of around 0, 14% in Qatar, and a maximum of around 68.90% in Somalia. 3- The average of technical efficiency from Constant Returns to Scale (CRS) DEA during the two periods study, about 0,663, 0,771 respectively, the Arab Countries have a completed efficiency was 35,29%, 47,06 % respectively. 4- The average of technical efficiency from Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) DEA during the two periods study, about 0,789, 0,857 respectively, the Arab Countries have a completed efficiency was 64,71%, 58,82 % respectively. 5- The Estimation of scale efficiency in the Arab Countries during the two periods study was 0,809, 0.901, it refers to Increasing the value of Gross agricultural product about 19,1%, 9,9% respectively with the same amount to Arab Agricultural Resources. 6- by using Analysis of Variance) ANOVA) for technical efficiency from Constant Returns to Scale (CRS) DEA, Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) DEA, and Scale efficiency during the two periods study, the results explained not significant differences. Study Recommendation: The research recommends using the Arab Agricultural Resources according to the Aspects and Indicators efficiency, and decreasing the use of input's slacks to achievement the Sustainability Development. | ||||
