“…Both techniques are purposed as the benchmarking tool to evaluate the production efficiency (Ghorbani, et al, 2010). DEA is the production frontier method not centered on the specification of a functional or distributional form, whereas it allows the relaxation of assumption on the 'constant returns to scale' production (Cooper, et al, 2007(Cooper, et al, & 2011Fried, et al, 2008;Kathiravan, et al, 2018;Khomeini, et al, 2013).…”

“…Over the years, Ghana's GDP attributed to agrarian production has been on a decline largely owing to lower productivity lacking technological use from major agricultural commodities such as pineapple. To this result, an increase or improvement in farming efficiency tied to effective farm-tech adoption would assume greater benefit for higher attainable output (Kathiravan, et al, 2018). 2 Given the prevailing but limited farming technology and resource endowment, many Ghanaian farmers also face unfavorable gap between the potential and actual farm yields.…”

“…Technical efficiency (TE) is an important measure of productivity differences across crops. It helps explore the capacity of existing farming technologies to improve or correct the disequilibrium in production, while the scale efficiency (SE) is equally important which allows farmers to apply and target the most productive scale so as to optimize farm yields (see Kathiravan, et al, 2018). As the efficiency check may most likely improve crop receipt, such as in pineapple farming, it is critical and strategic as a mechanism to reduce the productivity loss, close the production gap, and maximize farming output for the consumption demand.…”

The study focused on the technical and scale efficiency of smallholder pineapple farmers in the Central Region of Ghana. The input-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used to estimate technical, pure and scale efficiencies of the smallholder pineapple farmers, of which a random sampling procedure was used to select 320 respondents. The study revealed that the farmers were technically inefficient with mean technical efficiency under Constant Returns to Scale (CRS), pure efficiency under Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) and the Scale Efficiency levels of 0.505, 0.641 and 0.772, respectively, due to farmers’ inability to exploit fully the available technology while experiencing evident post-harvest losses resulting from low adoption of post-harvest technologies. Such findings are meaningful and could help the farming communities and relevant policymakers to understand the issues in farming production and hence undertake necessary actions to potentially improve farmers’ technical and scale efficiencies in the study area.

“…Tapioca (Manihot esculenta Crantz) has been processed into sago and starch which could be found abundantly in Tamil Nadu, India [38]. Besides, it is a good source of starch in forming soft and transparent gel despite of its low protein content [39].…”

Starch is an edible polymer derived from plant basis. It is commonly used in food industry as it offers good stabilising effect. Moreover, starch can be easily modified either physically or chemically making it a very versatile source. For instance, its capability to be easily modified and coming from low cost source making starch as one of the most important ingredient in food preparation. There are currently varieties of commercially modified starch available in Malaysian market. For example, potato, corn, wheat and tapioca starch are presently on the top list. However, there are also numbers of unexplored native starch for example from fruits processing waste. Besides, these fruit by-products are considered as underutilised source of starch. Although there are few existing reported studies on starch extracted from fruits seed and other waste products, more new sources are believed to be explored in future according to particular starchbased products industries and demands. Therefore, this review discusses current starch based-products developments and application of unconventional starch in food industry.
