<em>Due to the high cost of investment in broiler production and the risk involved, various types of lease arrangement in broiler production exist in Indonesia. Two of the best known arrangement include the contract system and the informal profit sharing system. The difference in these two types of arrangement lies in the degree of cooperation which influence their technical efficiency. This study aims to measure the technical efficiencies of broiler farms with the contract system and the profit sharing system. This study also analyzed the basic determinants of the technical efficiency, as well as the socio-economic variables that affect business performance. Cross section data was collected from Limapuluh Kota district between July to September 2015. The purposive  sampling technique was used to identify 87 farmers of which 50 were involved in the contract system arrangement while 37 were involved in the profit sharing arrangement. The data was analyzed using the Cobb-Douglas Stochastic Production Frontier. The results showed that the type of lease arrangement affects the level of technical efficiency. When compared, the technical efficiency of contract system arrangement was higher than that of the informal profit sharing arrangement. The age and experience of broiler farmers significantly influenced the level of technical efficiency. However, while age was positive experience was negative.</em>

Broiler Production

The study assessed the effect of contract farming on broiler production in Osun State, Nigeria. 120 farmers comprising of broiler farmers participating and not participating in contract farming were selected using multistage sampling technique. Information was elicited from the farmers with the aid of a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Stochastic Production Frontier and Ordinary least square regression model. The findings of this study revealed that majority (75%) of the farmers rated the activities of contracting farming to be good and favorable, as the contract farmers earn more from broiler production than their counterparts. Average technical efficiency of the contract and non contract farmers were 0.8209 and 0.6803, respectively. The results also revealed that years of experience in broiler production, education of farmer, off-farm income, membership in farmers association, access to credit, access to veterinary services and participation in contract farming significantly affected technical efficiency of broiler farmers in the study area. Therefore, the study recommends that there should be increase in the awareness of the benefits associated with contract farming in agrarian communities, so that more farmers are encouraged to participate, as this will improve their production efficiency.

The cereal crop, maize is regarded as staple food mainly in hill areas of Nepal. Seed is one of the vital input which determines the production and yield of any crop. Farmers are found using the required inputs in haphazard way which had increased the cost of production and inefficiency of resources used. The study on seed sector is limited. For such a backdrop, this study was aimed to assess the level of technical efficiency (TE) of certified maize seed production. The total of 164 certified seed producer were interviewed in June, 2016 using simple random sampling technique in Palpa district of Nepal. The result revealed that increase in amount of seed and labor by one percent would increase the yield of certified maize seed by 0.29 and 0.34 percent respectively. The TE was estimated using stochastic production frontier model in Stata software. The average TE was found 70 percent which revealed the scope of increasing TE by 30 percent using the existing available resources. There were about 29 percent farmers who had TE of ≥0.7-0.8 followed by 27.44 percent at ≥0.8-0.9. Government and other stakeholders should prioritize to provide technical knowledge via training and increase the visit of extension worker to increase TE of certified maize seed producer in the district.

The main objective of this study is to analyse the technical efficiency and its determinants of pineapple production at Madhupur upazila of Tangail district in Bangladesh. Cross-section data from a sample of 100 pineapple producers during the 2016-17 cropping season were collected by applying multistage random sampling technique. Farm specific technical efficiency scores were estimated using the Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier production function approach. Empirical findings show that the estimated technical efficiencies of the sampled farmers’ range from 61.61% to 99.95% with the mean technical efficiency of 91.14%. The result suggests that, on an average, farmers in the study area can potentially increase their productivity by 8.86% through more efficient use of inputs. The estimated stochastic production frontier model indicates that input variables such as area, tillage cost, seedling cost and human labour cost were statistically significant variables to increase the quantity of pineapple production. Technical inefficiency effect model identifies that age of farmers had significant positive, but years of schooling and extension contact had significant negative effect on farmers’ inefficiency. The study therefore recommends that government should focus on the ways of attracting and encouraging the youths as they are more efficient and are likely to be able to properly allocate resources and are willing to adopt new technical innovations. Besides, policies and strategies should be directed towards increasing farmers’ formal as well as informal education through the implementation of effective training programmes by the well-trained extension workers.

A stochastic production frontier model was estimated to provide standard measurement of technical efficiency of the dual-purpose cattle system located in Zulia State, Venezuela. This system is based on local and low-cost inputs, but has been considered to be inefficient because of its low partial productivity indices when compared with those used in developed countries. Results indicate that the efficiency of this system is reasonably high, downplaying the general idea of inefficiency. Likewise, the efficiency of this system has the potential for improvement through public policies and managerial decisions based on the determinants of technical efficiency.

<p>Rice productivity in Indonesia varied greatly between provinces. Rice productivity in the Bangka Belitung Islands was the lowest figure compared to other provinces in Indonesia from 2013 to 2015. The purpose of this study was to provide an overview of rice farming, analyze the technical efficiency and its influencing factors of rice farming, and analyze the income level of rice farming in the Province of Bangka Belitung Islands. The data used in this study were raw data of the 2014 Household Survey of Rice Crop Farming (SPD 2014) conducted by Statistics Indonesia. The analytical method used was the Stochastic Production Frontier. The results showed that the factors influencing rice production were seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and the use of hired labours. The average level of technical efficiency of rice farmers was 20% of maximum production. This shows that rice farming was not yet efficient. Factors that negatively affect the technical efficiency of rice farming were those among other age of the farmer, land preparation equipment, ownership status of land preparation equipment and the planting system. The results of the study also showed that the more efficient the rice farming, the greater the farmers' income. To increase productivity through increasing technical efficiency, it is recommended that rice farmers are facilitated or supported to use a better quality of rice seed.</p><p> </p><p>Abstrak</p><p>Produktivitas padi di Indonesia sangat bervariasi antar provinsi, di mana produktivitas padi di Kepulauan Bangka Belitung menunjukkan angka terendah dibandingkan provinsi lain di Indonesia selama tahun 2013 hingga 2015.
