Coffee Farming

<p><em>Coffee is one of the strategic commodities in West Java for its important economic role in West Java. However, studies on coffee farming efficiency are still rarely found.  Information on efficiency is critical because it affects the benefits the coffee farmers gain and its development program. This study aimed to investigate factors affecting the technical efficiency and technical efficiency level of Arabica Garut Kuning (AGK) coffee farming in Garut Regency, carried out from June to September 2016 using survey methods. Research location was determined by purposive sampling and 72 respondents were randomly chosen from Arabica coffee farmer population in Garut Regency. The data was analysed using stochastic frontier production, estimated by Maximum Likelihood Estimates (MLE) method. The results showed that the factors influencing the technical efficiency of coffee farming are land area, use of Urea fertilizer, ZA fertilizer, SP 36 fertilizer, herbicide and labor. The technical efficiency of farmers is quite high (average of 0.81). Means farmers have been technically efficient especially in allocating resources and utilizing existing cultivation technology. To further improve the technical efficiency as well as its revenue share of AGK, support from local governments and other stakeholders is still urgently needed.</em></p>

This study established the level of technical efficiency and its determinants among the informal and formal seed potato producers in the southwestern highlands agro - ecological zone of Uganda. A multi- stage sampling procedure was employed to select 636 households (499 informal seed producers and 137 formal seed producers) from which data was collected for two seasons using a semi - structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed using the stochastic frontier approach with a one - step approach. Maximum likelihood estimates for the efficiency parameters showed that both informal and formal seed potato producers were not fully efficient. The mean technical efficiency for informal and formal seed potato producers was 8 1 .4 and 80.4 percent respectively. In terms of yield loss, informal and formal seed potato producers respectively lost an average of 981 and 1,208 kg/acre of seed potato tubers due to inefficiency factors . Specifically, off- farm income source, scale of production, seasonal variation, access to extension services and seed producer being male positively influenced informal seed producers’ technical efficiency while producers’ level of education and seed potato variety diversity negatively influenced their efficiency. For formal seed producers, technical efficiency was influenced positively by producers’ education and negatively by household size. The study suggests that there is an opportunity to improve technical efficiency of informal and formal seed producers by 19 and 20 percent respectively. Therefore, this calls for increased investment in developing and promoting high yielding varieties, provision of extension services, input intensification and addressing gender issues in seed potato production in the context of limited arable land .

This study analyzes the factors influencing gambier productivity, analyzes the technical efficiency of gambier farming, and analyzes the factors affecting gambier farming's technical efficiency. This research was conducted in Lima Puluh Kota Regency, a gambier production center in West Sumatra. Data were analyzed using the Cobb Douglas stochastic frontier production function. The results showed that the factors that significantly influenced gambier's productivity were labor, NPK fertilizer, plant age, number of trees, varieties, and technology. The number of labor, fertilizer factor, plant age, number of trees, and seedling varieties had a positive effect on gambier productivity. In contrast, NPK fertilizer and technology had a negative impact on gambier productivity. The technical efficiency level of gambier farming started from 0.25 to 0.99 with an average level of 0.76. It means that farmers are technically efficient but can still increase gambier productivity if they use production inputs appropriately and adequately. Factors that significantly influence technical efficiency are age, farming experience, and technology. Older farmers will have a higher level of technical efficiency compared to young age. The lower the farming experience, the more technically efficient the farmer is. Farmers who use the hydraulic jack system technology are more efficient than farmers who use the jack system technology

Purpose This paper aims to evaluate the impact of the subsidies established by Measure 123 of the Rural Development Policy on the productivity of a sample of agri-food and forestry companies in the region of Asturias over the period 2006-2009. Design/methodology/approach The authors estimate a stochastic frontier function which allows subsidies to be considered as affecting both the level of technical efficiency and technical progress. Findings The results show that while subsidies have a positive effect on the technical progress of companies in the agri-food industry, for the forestry industry, the effect materializes as an improvement in technical efficiency. Additionally, other factors affecting either, technical progress and technical efficiency were identified. Originality/value This study adopts a model that allows the separate identification of the effect of subsidies on the level of efficiency, on the one hand, and on the technical progress, on the other.

Frontier Production Function

Shallot is an important vegetable commodity for most Indonesian people. Shallots production is not yet able to supply the domestic consumption, and some is still met through imports. The challenge to produce shallots will be more complex, such as: the desire of consumers to high-quality products and environmentally friendly, as well as competition with similar products in the era of free trade. Based on these reasons, research has been done and the purpose of this study was to analyze the factors affecting shallots production, measuring the level of technical efficiency and economical efficiency. The study was conducted in Nganjuk District by taking 179 respondents from four sub districts. Interviews were conducted in October and November 2013, planting shallots April unti August 2013. Methods of analysis using the stochastic frontier production function to look at the effect of inputs on shallots production, followed by the analysis of technical efficiency (TE), allocative efficiency (AE) and economical efficiency (EE), and the final analysis of competitiveness using the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM). The independent variable inputs consist of land (X1), seeds (X2), NPK fertilizer (X3), organic fertilizer (X4), labor (X5) and pesticides (X6). The analysis showed all independent variables significantly affected shallots production, where the value of the elasticity of the independent variable X2 is the highest, amounting to 0.2822. The analysis also obtained an average value of TE is equal to 0.808 means farmers are efficient, although there are farmers who are still not efficient. Although TE has been achieved, but is economically inefficient, because the average value of EE only 0.509. From PAM results it can be seen that farming shallots in this study has a competitive advantage but do not yet have a comparative advantage.
