Farms Productivity Developments Based on Malmquist Production Indices

Abstract

The aim of the article was to evaluate production efficiency changes of agricultural enterprises specialized in livestock production and identify its determinants. The total factor productivity (TFP) was used to analyse the changes as determined by the DEA Malmquist index. Evaluated sample contained panel data of 440 farms (114 organic and 326 conventional) based on FADN survey in the period 2011 -2015.The results showed very little difference in technical efficiency between groups and relatively negligible changes over the time. About 69% of organic farms reached the productivity growth with the change in TFP of 3.17%. A total of 59% of conventional farms were managed with increasing productivity and the TFP change by 1.48%. Differences between groups were given mainly by Utilized agricultural area per farm, level of Total production, Livestock output, sum of Current subsidies per hectare, and by FNVA / AWU. KeywordsCrop and animal production, efficiency, total factor productivity, organic and conventional farming.

Effect of public spending on agricultural productivity in Nigeria (1981-2018)

“…The marginal effect of educational access in Nigeria was positive in the savannah zones, suggesting that people with higher education also work on the farms. This finding was supported by Quiroga et al (2017) and Kostlivý et al (2017). Access to quality health services holds universally true, hence, inclusive access to health services enhanced productivity.…”

“…Agricultural productivity returns on public spending in European countries are enormous (De Olde, Sautier & Whitehead, 2020). The increase in enhanced agricultural productivity in developed countries derives from more intensive input use, advanced modern use of agricultural technology (which is highly funded), efficiency, managerial skills and organization of production (European Commission, 2016b;Kostlivy, Fuksová & Dubec, 2017;Quiroga, Suárez, Fernández-Haddad & Philippidis, 2017;Svilokos, Vojinić & Tolić, 2019).…”

Productivity Change in Multi-year Periods: the Hicks-Moorsteen Index, Its Decomposition and Bank Application

“…Malmquistov index našiel v domácom prostredí uplatnenie aj pri skúmaní iných výskumných úloh, napr. Raguseo a Kuvíková (2010) sa zameriavali na vývoj v neziskovom sektore a Kostlivý et al (2017) skúmali vývoj v produktivite fariem. Do tohto prostredia smeroval aj záujem Baležentisa (2015), ktorý ale aplikoval Färeho-Primontov index produktivity.…”

Эффективность Операционной Деятельности Сельскохозяйственных Предприятий

“…Анализ последних исследований и публикаций. Вопросы, связанные с оценкой эффективности в аграрном секторе экономики и изучением проблем ее достижения, находят свое отражение в научных трудах как зарубежных, так и отечественных ученых экономистов, в числе которых: Д. М. Пармакли [1], V. Kostlivý [2], L. Latruffe [3], T. V. Pasichnyk [4]. Общие вопросы экономики сельского хозяйства и оценивания эффективности деятельности предприятий изложены в работах таких ученых, как: И. А. Бланк [5], О. И. Волков [6], Н. П. Любушин [7] и др.…”
