Abstract

Agricultural exports have a significant role among the non-oil exports, and enjoy more stability than exports from other sectors. Among the Agricultural exportable products, pistachio plays an important role. Yazd after kerman is the second producer and Ardaken is the largest area of pistachio production in yazd province. Also the local agricultural economy depends on this product. This research is to examine the effect of different factors such as labor, water, fertelizer, ... on production. Averge, maiginal and total productivity of production factors were computed using a trancendental production function. The results showed that the TEP was low in the study area and the productivity of the short variety trees was higher than the high variety trees. The result also indicate that the farmers do not use the inputs at their optimum level. By reallocation of resource there is an opportunity to increase the productivity of inputs.
