Resource Use Efficiency and Technical Efficiency, Determinants of Technical Efficiency in Groundnut Production in Tiruchirappalli District- Data Envelopement Analysis (DEA) Approach
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
In the present study, production function and technical efficiency of groundnut cultivation were measured in Tiruchirappalli district of Tamil Nadu. Data Envelopment Analysis was used to evaluate the technical and scale efficiency of the farms in the region of study. A random sampling procedure was used to select 120 sample respondents based on the highest cropping area in the district. Medium farms and large farms showed lower technical efficiency when compared with the small scale farms in the region of study while on the other side, scale efficiency was found higher in the medium and large scale farms. About 27 out of 55 farms on small scale were operating at the optimum level. The average score of technical efficiency was 0.96 in the specification of variable returns. From the Tobit model, the factors influencing labor efficiency and cultivation practices followed by the farmers.
