ANALYSIS OF ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY INDICATORS OF ORGANIC FARMS MANAGEMENT PATTERNS AT FAYOUM GOVERNORATE

AbstractUsing recent advances in the stochastic production frontier framework, this paper presents an empirical analysis of technical, allocative and economic efficiency of a sample of organic and conventional cotton farms located in Greece. The results suggest that both farm types in the sample examined are technically, allocatively and economically inefficient. Farmer's age and education and farm size are important factors in explaining differentials in efficiency estimates. In comparative terms, organic farms exhibit lower efficiency scores vis-à-vis their conventional counterparts in terms of technical and economic efficiency; regarding allocative efficiency both farm types are almost equally inefficient. Low efficiency scores in both types of farming may be attributed to the respective intervention policies of the last 20 years.

Introduction. In modern conditions, enterprises have every opportunity to implement all types of international economic activity. The main issues are the administration of the efficiency of international economic activity. The urgency of the work is due to the need for comprehensive research in the field of administration of efficiency of international economic activity. Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to study the administration of the effectiveness of international economic activity and review the regulations on its implementation. This defined the following tasks: 1) to investigate the regulations of international economic activity of the enterprise; 2) to analyse the efficiency of foreign economic activity in terms of economic efficiency of imports; 3) to develop an approach to the administration of the efficiency of international economic activity of the enterprise. Results. The article examines the system of regulations on international economic activity of enterprises and its administration. The essence of the concept of "efficiency of international economic activity" and the classification of efficiency indicators are highlighted. Factors influencing the income and expenditure of international economic activity for its effectiveness are considered. The analysis of administration of efficiency of international economic activity of subjects of economic activity by means of an indicator of efficiency of import is carried out. The efficiency of one import operation is calculated on an example. It is proposed to consider the effective administration of import activities carried out by the company, if each 1 UAH costs more than 1 UAH income. Conclusions. The paper identifies the stages at which both internal and external administration of foreign economic activity of the enterprise. Stages for administration of efficiency by international economic activity of the enterprises are offered. According to the results of research, the need to create a regulatory framework for the administration of the effectiveness of international economic activity of enterprises is substantiated.

The paper presents economic analysis of growing of legume-cereal intercropping in conditions of organic farming. Results of the analysis are based on data monitoring in chosen organic farms that grow LCI. In the paper there is also compared economic efficiency of LCI grown in organic and conventional farming system. Methodological solution results from costingness and earnings monitoring of LCI production in five chosen organic farms in the period 2007–2008.When evaluating costs existing in individual variants of LCI growing it is necessary to say that the selection of individual machines and machine aggregations represents the most important factor of influencing direct costs, namely with regard to the size of organic farms and to the area of individual field blocks. Under conditions of organic farms, the LCI production is also significantly influenced also by agrotechnical (tillage) operations. As compared with conventional farms, the final yield of both green fodder and grain is lower by 14–38%. Total direct costs per hectare of harvested LCI acreage ranged in case of fodder production from 9.249 CZK to 11.620 CZK per hectare. In case of grain production, the corresponding costs ranged from 8.848 to 9.970 CZK per hectare. In case of LCI, the direct costs of organic farms per unit of production of both fodder and grain consist mainly of material costs, which represent 63–76% and 61–68% of total expenses associated with production of fodder and grain, respectively. These direct costs are influenced also by higher prices of inputs.

Abstract Background This research was aimed to study the structure of actual investment costs and operating and maintenance costs for raising and distributing ground water through the use of different irrigation methods and for estimating the most important economic and technical indicators for raising and distributing groundwater for the most important agricultural crops in Wadi El-Gadid (New Valley province). Methods This work was based on secondary data issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation and field data obtained through personal interviews of wheat and tomato farmers by irrigation method (spray, flooding, and the method of lifting and distribution of water in the case of the use of diesel and conveyor belts), and the use of electricity and deep pumps, through the questionnaire design. A sample of 40 farmers was used. Results The results showed that the productivity and economic efficiency indicators for the lifting and distribution of groundwater by a power source during the agricultural season 2017/2018 increased the average productivity of total yield, net revenue/fed., net return/pound, and irrigation water in both crops. Conclusion The results showed that the method of lifting and distribution of water is more efficient than irrigation by flooding.

It is well known that the decision to invest is preceded by (pre-)feasibility analysis and studies, which should show that the investment is necessary, opportune, and ef- ficient. As concerns the information field, we consider this feasibility study practice as partially adequate, as there is no full financial assessment of the necessity and opportunity of the information project by taking into account its advantages/disadvantages, the studies presenting only a list of these advantages/disadvantages. Moreover, given the impossibility of determining the contribution of each information function to the economic efficiency indicators of the organization (turnover, profit, etc.), the final result is also a partial assessment of the efficiency of the information project, which may lead to bad influences on the managerial team when making the decision of investing or not in that project. This is why we proposed in this study a new method of financial assessment of the necessity and opportunity of the information project, namely the annual net discounted advantages method or, more simply, the ANDA method). This chapter also includes, besides theoretical aspects, a case study with a concrete application of the ANDA method to an information project. We mention that the ANDA method may be applied to the assessment of the efficiency and of the opportunity of any investment project of modernization in any business area.
