Abstract :
Aapple production, as a productive sector in the horticultural economy, has been of particular importance and has occupied a special place. Therefore, the increase in demand for food due to population growth has caused the agricultural sector to increase its production compared to other economic sectors, which is made possible by increasing the use of water resources and inputs such as chemical fertilizers and pesticides that consume more energy. Urmia city With 26,000 hectares of apple orchards has taken the first place in the production of this product in the country. On the other hand, excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in the production of this product not only causes non-optimal use of energy, but also causes irreparable damage to the environment and water resources. Determining the economic value of water in the Urmia catchment area helps a lot to increase the productivity of water resources in the region and save consumers and properly manage demand. In this study, the efficiency of energy consumption and the economic value of water were estimated to investigate the amount of energy and water consumption in apple production. The results showed that the energy ratio of the inputs to the product, which indicates the energy efficiency, was not at the optimal level and the amount of energy consumption should be considered. Also, the final production of water input in apple production is 0.15 and the final production value of water is 29,141.7 rials
