“…Haryanto et al examined the effect of several factors on the efficiency of rice farmers in several regions in Indonesia, including the factor of government assistance and irrigation. The results show that the government assistance has an effect on the efficiency of rice farming in all areas studied even in Indonesia as a whole 4 .…”

Rice is a staple food in East Java, and the average consumption is 100 kg/capita/year. However, rice productivity has declined dramatically in recent years. Food security can be reached by improving the technical efficiency of rice farming, especially in rice farming centers such as East Java Province. This study aims to measure technical efficiency and its determinants using two limit tobit. And it also aims to examine the effect of the technical efficiency of rice farming on food security using logit regression. Technical efficiency will be measured by using data envelopment analysis (DEA). The results show that the technical efficiency of rice farming is very low in East Java. Government assistance, irrigation, and extension have a significant effect on technical efficiency. Meanwhile, membership of farmer organization has no effect on technical efficiency. Around 69% of farmers can be categorized as food secure households. The estimation of logit regression shows that household size, income, land size, education, age, and gender significantly influence food security in East Java. Meanwhile, credit and technical efficiency did not have any significant effect.

“…Most references to the concept of efficiency are based directly or indirectly on Farrell [16] which states that the efficiency can be measured in relative terms as a deviation from best practices of producers compared with producer groups. The production process is technically efficient if and only if the maximum quantity of output(s) can be achieved for a given quantity of input(s) and technologies [17]. More importantly, Farrell [16] also suggested to measure technical efficiency by estimating frontier production function.…”

“…Coelli [22] had developed the software FRONTIER 4.1c, which can be used to generate both the stochastic production frontier and the inefficiency model simultaneously. Moreover, the FRONTIER 4.1c was widely applied in different fields of research in the recent years, especially in agricultural studies like [15,17,20,[23][24][25][26][27][28] for instance.…”

The aims of this study are to measure the technical efficiency (TE) of Cambodian household’s rice production and trying to determine its main influencing factors using the stochastic frontier production function. The study utilized primary data collected from 301 rice farmers in three selected districts of Battambang by structured questionnaires. The empirical results indicated the level of household rice output varied according to differences in the efficiency of the production processes. The mean TE is 0.34 which means that famers produce 34% of rice at best practice at the current level of production inputs and technology, indicates that rice output has the potential of being increased further by 66% at the same level of inputs if farmers had been technically efficient. Furthermore, between 2013-2015, TE of household’s rice production recorded -14.3% decline rate due to highly affected of drought during dry season of 2015. Moreover, evidence reveals that land, fertilizer, and pesticide are the major influencing input factors of household’s rice production, while disaster, education of household head, family size and other crops’ cultivated area are core influencing factors decreasing TE. Conversely, the main influencing factors increasing TE are irrigated area, number of plot area and sex of household head.

“…The results revealed that the average technical efficiency is 90 percent and SE is 97 percent; this suggested that inefficient provinces can potentially reduce their overall costs for potato production. Haryanto et al (2015) used a two-stage DEA analysis to estimate technical efficiency and analyze the determinants of technical efficiency rice farming. The results showed that the average technical efficiency in all the rice-producing regions in Indonesia is moderate to high.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the efficiency of vegetable farmers within the tree-crop based rainforest agro-ecological zone in Southwest region of Cameroon. Design/methodology/approach The non-parametric data envelopment analysis method was used to evaluate technical and scale efficiencies while the Tobit model was used to identify factors affecting efficiency of vegetable production. Findings An econometric analysis result indicates that family size, education and extension service have significant impact on both technical and scale efficiencies, whereas credit service has significant impact on scale efficiency. Practical implications Future agricultural policies could include measures to improve the capacity of farmers to efficiently use existing resources. Social implications The study highlighted that encouraging more people to engage in farm labor and facilitating smallholder access to microcredit could render vegetable farmers more efficient. Originality/value In Cameroon, only a few studies have been conducted on technical efficiency. These encompass mainly cash and food crops. To the best of our knowledge, no single study has measured technical efficiency of vegetable farmers in forest-based farming of Cameroon.
