Analysis on Technical Efficiency in the Process of Exploitation Palm Oil in Lobaye Locality, Central Africa Republic

Abstract

The present was carried out of Technical Efficiency in the Process of Exploitation Palm Oil in Lobaye Locality, Central Africa Republic. Primary data used in the study were collected through well-structured questionnaire administered with 150 randomly selected oil palm processors in the study area. Descriptive statistics, analysis and the Stochastic Frontier Production Function were used to analyze the data. The average technical efficiency of agricultural production by farmers on a variable scale of yield is 0.81. This means that agricultural production will increase by 0.68% compared to the current level of inputs. The result shows that 0.95% of the sample is the technical efficiency of the variable scale inputs. This means that agricultural production can be increased. Results have shown that productivity is significantly influenced by producer education in the area of yield. It is recommended that policies improve the training of producers in order to build capacity to continuously increase their regular production.

The Role of Economic and Social Factors Affecting the Efficiency of Small-Scale Sunflower Oil Production Companies in Tanzania

“…So, the more kilogrammes of seeds processed, the more sunflower oil produced and the more technically efficient the manufacturer. These findings agree with Ngaisset and Jia [20] and Ismiasih [22] that variable capital and raw material are the most important variables in production and efficiency.…”

“…Literature suggests that variable experience boosts production and efficiency [21,20,19]. This study found that producer experience negatively impacted technical efficiency.…”

“…Ngaisset and Jia [20] This study examined the technical efficiency of sunflower oil production in the case of the Singida region. specifically, the study determined the level of technical efficiency among producers of sunflower oil as well as analyzed the socioeconomic factors affecting the technical efficiency in the production of sunflower oil among the small-scale producers.…”

Analysis of factors affecting the technical inefficiency on Indonesian palm oil plantation

“…The firm with moderate efficiency has the efficiency value of above 0.7 and below 0.9. The firm is assumed as inefficient if its efficiency value is less than 0.7 5 . In Indonesia, only 1% of the farmers are efficient in their production.…”

“…The result showed that age, education and extension service significantly affect the technical efficiency. In the research of technical efficiency of palm oil in Cantral Africa Republic, the education is also an influencing factor to increase the efficiency of farmers 5 . Education and age also significantly contributed the technical efficiency of rubber farmers in Nahon, Thailand 6 .…”
