Abstract
The study attempted to investigate the effects of the economic liberalization policies on the agro-economic trends of Tomato crop most important economic variables, efficiency, criteria and indicators. The study used tomato crop production and revenues as dependent variables and cultivated area, productivity and farm prices as independent variables. The studied period was divided into three periods, base period (1980 - 1986) and two comparable periods (1987·1992) and (1993- 1999). Statistical methods were used to achieve the study goals. The study showed that the production increased by the double, as a result of the increase in productivity. The increase in revenues was due to price and productivity increase, but their relative importance were decreased. The economic liberalization policy showed positive effects on production, productivity, prices, consumption and exports. It had negative effect on cost per uriit and stable effect on consumption I production and export I production ratio. The study assured the producer's better off status VS. The consumer worse off status because of the burden of the price will be cut from his surplus:
Therefor additional adjusting policies are needed to adjust consumption exports and waste management.
