Abstract

Limited resources, including water, especially in our country is one of the challenges facing the agricultural sector. Due to the limitations of this vital resource, Iran's agricultural sector can control this crisis to some extent by properly managing the use of water resources, including increasing water use efficiency. In this research, water consumption efficiency and its effective factors in grape production in Bijar County have been estimated using data envelopment analysis method with input-oriented approach. The data of this study were obtained by collecting a questionnaire from 170 gardeners in this city during the 95-96 crop year. Also, the average results of estimating water use efficiency in CRS and VRS conditions were 51.94 and 83.59%, respectively. This difference is due to the inefficiency of the scale in grape production in this county. Therefore, with the increase of production scale in this region, the amount of water consumption efficiency will also increase significantly. The results of the study of factors affecting water use efficiency showed that the variables of education and history of grape production are significant and as education and history of grape production increase, water use inefficiency decreases. According to the research results, by educating and consulting with the help of sample producers, it is possible to increase water use efficiency in grapes production in Bijar County.
