Abstract
The research aims to study and estimate the optimal combinations that must be used of production resources in order to achieve different production volumes and the extent to which these quantities are close to the actual volume quantities of the crop farmers, and to urge farmers to adopt these quantities and volumes that have been reached in order to achieve profits, as the study concluded that the production volume at the point Breakeven is (347.918) kg, while the actual volume of sample production reached (933.729) kg The optimal volume of production that reduces costs amounted to (1026,919) kg, while the volume of production that maximizes profit amounted to (1096.381) kg. It turned out that the largest net profit achieved by a farmer if he produced at the maximum volume of profit amounted to (418538.855) dinars, while it reached At the optimal volume of production (387905.12) dinars, the volume of production of the sample amounted to (380195.6) dinars, and this indicates the inability of most farmers to mix the elements of production to obtain the highest profits. The reason for this is due to the high costs of production on the one hand and the low volume of production on the other hand. The study also found that Weak government support for production requirements, which made production not reach its maximum Therefore, the study recommends that there be an effective role for the government in influencing the prices of production inputs, which contributes to achieving the highest profits.
