This study employed a Cobb-Douglas stochastic production frontier function to estimate the level of technical efficiency. The results of the analysis showed that cropping season of mango growers have been round year. Difference of the study compared to past researches related to tropical fruits analyzed efficiency of three seasons instead of only focusing on efficiecy of one seasson or total a year. The findings revealed that season 3 ranked first in terms of technical efficiency (58.2%), follwed by season 1 (53.6%) and then season 2 (49.2%). Moreover, the input variables that explained technical efficiency were were fertilizer (root), fertilizer (leaf) and labor in season 1; pesticide, fertilizer (leaf) and labor in seaon 2; and pesticide, fertilizer (root), fertilizer (leaf) and labor in in season 3. In addition, major determinants of socioeconomic characteristics influenced positively on technical efficiency were were plant density and land area in season 1 and season 3; market access, plant density and land area in season 2. Likewise, the constraints to mango production were wrapping bag and classifying sale in season 2, and age and wrapping bag in season 3.

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.

A study was conducted to examine the technical efficiency for Setbag net fishing boats operated in the year 2014. A total of 100 samples of Setbag net fishing boats were selected, of which 40 were from Cox’s Bazar, 40 were from Chittagong and 20 were from Bagerhat. Stochastic frontier (with technical inefficiency effect) model was specified and estimated. Results have shown that the estimated mean technical efficiency of Setbag net fishing boats is 84 percent. The efficiency of Setbag net fishing boat was positively associated with total cost, while the number of nets were negatively related to fishing day and crew size. Head maji’s age had significant effect on inefficiency at 5% level. Although, the effect on boats’ efficiency was positive, (though insignificant) for head maji’s experience, head maji’s education, engine horse power and boat age. The use of modern fishing boat and improved fishing technology should be promoted, through proper training and motivation program for fisher. At the same time old and unfit fishing boat and gears should be gradually removed and replaced by new and modern fishing boat.The Agriculturists 2017; 15(2) 59-65

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.

The Milk Self-sufficiency Program that is targeted to be reached by the year of 2020 is threatened by the increasing of milk imports. Local milk production can only meet 18 to 20 percent of the national milk demand. This study aims to investigate the level of technical efficiency of the people's small hold farmers’ cattles in Java and to analyze factors that influence milk production using Stochastic Frontier Analysis. The results showed that the feed per animal per day had a positive effect on the average milk production per animal per day; while the size of cage per animal had a negative effect. The average level of efficiency of dairy cattle business in Java is 83.56 percent, but statistically there are effects of inefficiency in this business. Factors that influence the inefficiency of livestock businesses are: the farmer’s age, the farmer’s educational level, participation of the farmers in cooperatives and farmer groups.Keywords: dairy cows; Stochastic Production Frontier; technical efficiency

The conversion from black tiger shrimp farming and crop farming to white leg shrimp production is widespread in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta provinces. However, this conversion trend also contains many risks related to the technical aspects of the production process. The study mainly aims to estimate the technical efficiency of white leg shrimp farming. It also compares the technical efficiency of white leg shrimp farming between the traditional group that historically has cultivated white leg shrimp and the group that recently converted from black tiger shrimp and crops to white leg shrimp, in order to evaluate the efficiency and adaptability of shrimp farming. Primary data were collected by directly interviewing 99 farmers in traditional areas and 101 farmers in recently converted areas in the study sites and analyzed by using the stochastic frontier method. The calculated technical efficiency was around 72.9 percent, suggesting that farmers could increase their output level by about 27.1%, given constant inputs. There was no difference in the technical efficiency of the two groups, indicating that the converted farms have sufficient adaptability when switching to white leg shrimp farming. The output loss in farmers’ production is still very high, with an average loss of 1973 kg/hectare.

<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>

This study determined the factors influencing the adoption of improved soybean varieties and examined the technical efficiencies of improved and local soybean varieties production in Southern Shan State, Myanmar. For this study, data from a sample of 337 respondents were collected by employing a multi-stage random sampling method. Logit model was adopted to determine the factors influencing the adoption of improved soybean varieties. Additionally, a stochastic production frontier was used to examine technical efficiencies of improved and local soybean varieties. Results show that factors that positively and significantly influence the adoption of improved soybean varieties are education, market access, extension access and training access. Examination of technical efficiency reveals that labor, fertilizer, machinery, and use of pesticide and harvester are inputs that significantly contribute to improving production efficiency among the improved variety farmers while seeds, labor, and fertilizer are significant inputs of local soybean production. On average, the estimated yield of the improved soybean varieties is 1.51 t/ha, which is higher than the yield of local soybean varieties grown at 0.88 t/ha. It was also revealed that improved soybean varieties had a relatively higher level of mean technical efficiency (85.04%) than local varieties (70.13%) and significantly different at 1% level. The results show that improved soybean production is more efficient than local soybean production. Therefore, government and non-government organizations should improve and provide market access, efficient and effective extension services and training to encourage farmers to adopt improved soybean varieties.
