“…The LR test was calculated as 68.359 and showed an effect of non-random variables in terms of potato production in the enterprises. These results agree with Kadako glua and Karli [27]. Additionally, the lambda (λ) value is greater than one, indicating inefficiency.…”

“…This means that an increase in farm labour affected potato production and the profitability of farmers. These findings are consistent with Rahman [35], Kadako glua nd Karli [27], and Wassihun et al [33], which highlight the adverse effects of increased labour expenditure on production output. However, these results contradict the findings of Dube et al [36], who found a positive contribution of labour to potato production.…”

“…According to the results, the average age of the farmers was approximately 48 years, with minimum and maximum ages of 24 and 68 years, respectively. These results were in line with Kadako glu and Karli [27] and Mezgebo et al [26], who showed that smallholder farming is dominated by active aged farmers who are energized in operating the farm and knowledgeable about potato farming, and are thus anticipated to be productive. Marriage was a determining factor among potato farmers, with 58% being married.…”

“…The study employed the stochastic profit frontier (SPF) approach to analyze farm-level efficiency and identify the factors influencing the efficiency levels of potato producers engaged in irrigation farming. Noteworthy studies such as Bajrachary and Sapkota [11], Sultana et al [2], Mezgebo et al [26], and Kadako glu and Karl [27] have also utilised the stochastic profit frontier to estimate resource efficiency among smallholder farmers. The SPF method is widely recognized for assessing resource efficiency due to its ability to capture the functional relationship between explanatory variables (e.g., input, output, and ecological factors in potato production) and dependent variables such as cost, profit, and production.…”

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is Africa’s second most-grown crop and is widely used as the staple food after maize. The demand for potato production is increasing and growth in the area under production is estimated at 1.25% a year. Potato has great potential when it comes to food security and farm returns for many smallholder farmers. However, potato productivity is relatively low due to many factors that contribute to the low yield (including drought, poor production practices, and limited access to high-quality seed) and inefficient use of resources. Potato farmers have no access to formal markets, which may reduce the profitability of their enterprises. Additionally, while many studies have been conducted on the resource aspect of vegetable crops, very little is known about the profit efficiency of potato producers in the country. At the same time, efforts to commercialize potato production have not delivered the expected outcomes. This study aimed to estimate the profitability of potatoes, evaluate farm-level efficiency, and identify the factors that influence the efficiency levels of potato farmers in the Eastern Cape Province who engage in irrigation farming. The study used multi-stage and snowball sampling to select 150 smallholder potato farmers from whom primary data were collected using close-ended questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive, gross margin analysis and translog stochastic profit frontier (SPF) modelling. The study found potato production to be profitable by as much as ZAR 7027.11 per annum. It is shown that farm size under potato, seed, pesticides, and fertilisers contribute positively towards the improvement of efficiency while labour and hired tractors negatively affect efficiency. The average technical efficiency of potato production among irrigated smallholder farmers was 89%, indicating that potato farmers could increase output by 11% without increasing inputs. Potato farm size, years spent in school, access to extension services, family size, and non-farm income are socio-economic and institutional factors influencing the farmers’ technical efficiency. However, the farmer’s age, access to credit, and cold storage had a negative effect on their productivity. The study recommends that government and non-governmental organisations strengthen the existing extension service provided to smallholder farmers and make efforts to provide farmers with long-term training and education to increase their productivity.

“…Most studies estimate technical efficiency using SFA, however, some studies estimate economic, technical, and allocative efficiencies in the agriculture sector of Bangladesh using DEA and SFA [17][18][19][20]. There are several studies on the comparison between DEA and SFA for different crops in different countries [9,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. To the best of our knowledge, in the context of Bangladesh, there is a gap in research on potato farming efficiency using both SFA and DEA.…”

Background The government of Bangladesh has been trying to encourage potato consumption to reduce pressure on rice consumption and earn foreign currency along with ensuring zero hunger that helps to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal. It is necessary to use farmers’ resources and current technology more efficiently to meet the demand. Therefore, the authors aimed to evaluate the farm-level efficiency of potato farming in Bangladesh. Methods and materials The Cobb-Douglas Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) and the input-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methods are used to compute farm-level technical, allocative, and economic efficiencies and inefficiency of potato farming. The primary data were collected through interviews of 300 potato farmers from Munshigonj, Rangpur, Dinajpur, and Joypurhat districts of Bangladesh. Results The findings revealed that the efficiency score of the SFA model is higher than the DEA model, which implies that the SFA frontier fits better than the DEA frontier. In the case of DEA, variable returns to scale (VRS) technical efficiency (TE) enveloped data more closely than constant returns to scale (CRS) TE. Results of efficiency suggest significant economic, technical, and allocative inefficiencies in potato farming and there is a scope to increase potato production levels through efficiency improvement. Inefficiency analysis shows that infrastructure and socio-economic factors jointly influence potato production variability. Conclusions The authors suggest for using the SFA to find efficiencies in the agriculture sector. To achieve efficiency in potato production, the government needs to pay attention for improving the allocative and economic efficiencies along with emphasizing to choose the appropriate technology and efficient use of resources for the scale of operation.
