    ABSTRACT
    This study evaluated the economic empowerment potentials of Dried Dates processing by women in rural areas of Khairpur Sindh using a sample of 100 women processors randomly selected from the study area. Data analysis was done using Descriptive statistics, Net Farm Income Model and Data Envelopment Analysis (D.E.A). An average net return of N10, 586.6 was obtainable within a processing cycle. The average pure technical and scale efficiency scores were 80 and 83 percent respectively. The major constraints confronting the processing of Dried Dates include inadequate capital for expansion and lack of processing machines. A significant opportunity exists for empowering rural women through Dried Dates processing.
