Abstract: Targeted
subsides will, directly or indirectly, affect the price cost of domestic
products, including sugar factories productions and reduce their ability to
compete against imports. Since the technological modernization for improving productivity
and reducing price cost of sugar production within the country accounts as a
long term strategy for exit out of this crisis, short-term strategies,
including promote technical efficiency in these firms have priority. In this
regard, efficiency analysis of sugar beet firms was the main objective of this
study that was performed using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). This analysis
using documentary data of these firms in 2004 year showed that optimum
management of using some effective inputs including labor and technical
management of increasing target product value conduce the promotion of
technical efficiency in the firms which in the managerial efficiency compared
to others weren't at desirable level. However, when the firms are managed in an
efficient manner, full-scale changes are effective on improving their technical
efficiency. Herein, the technical efficiency of each firms were analyzed and
suggestions were presented.
