Description for Efficiency Measures in the Agricultural Sector
Hardback. Adding to our toolkit for improving agricultural efficiency, this volume shows how to deploy techniques such as data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier analysis in crop production, opening up a fruitful new arena that could profit from these methods. Editor(s): Mendes, Armando B.; Soares da Silva, Emiliana L. D. G.; Santos, Jorge M. Azevedo. Num Pages: 200 pages, 20 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBT; PBU; RN; TVB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 18. Weight in Grams: 496.
The editors draw on a 3-year project that analyzed a Portuguese area in detail, comparing this study with papers from other regions. Applications include the estimation of technical efficiency in agricultural grazing systems (dairy, beef and mixed) and specifically for dairy farms. The conclusions indicate that it is now necessary to help small dairy farms in order to make them more efficient. These results can be compared with the technical efficiency of a sample of Spanish dairy processing firms presented by Magdalena Kapelko and co-authors.
