“…Two broad viewpoints can be distinguished concerning LF measurement, namely single indicator methods and comprehensive index methods. The former treats LF as one or several indicators, such as plot number, the average area of each plot [21,[32][33][34], the ratio of plot number to farm size, and the time spent for all parcels [35]. The comprehensive index methods combine all single indicators to generate a comprehensive index.…”

Land Use Transitions and Farm Performance in China: A Perspective of Land Fragmentation

Land fragmentation (LF) is widespread worldwide and affects farmers’ decision-making and, thus, farm performance. We used detailed household survey data at the crop level from ten provinces in China to construct four LF indicators and six farm performance indicators. We ran a set of regression models using OLS methods to analyse the relationship between LF and farm performance. The results showed that (1) LF increased the input of production material and labour costs; (2) LF reduced farmers’ purchasing of mechanical services and the efficiency of ploughing; and (3) LF may increase technical efficiency (this result, however, was not sufficiently robust and had no effect on yield). Generally speaking, LF was negatively related to farm performance. To improve farm performance, it is recommended that decision-makers speed up land transfer and land consolidation, stabilise land property rights, establish land-transfer intermediary organisations and promote large-scale production.

“…For example, Schultz (1953) views land fragmentation as the misallocation of the existing stock of agricultural land, implying it as a source of inefficiency. Dovring and Dovring (1960) identify distance between parcels as the main source of inefficiency created by land fragmentation. Recent studies, Sherlund et al (2002) and Tan (2005) conclude that the increase in the number of plots has a positive relation with technical efficiency in rice production in Cote d'Ivoire and China, whereas Parikh and Shah (1994) and Wadud and White (2000) report that land fragmentation reduces efficiency in rice production in Pakistan and Bangladesh, respectively.…”

Impact of land fragmentation and resource ownership on productivity and efficiency: The case of rice producers in Bangladesh

2009

a b s t r a c tThe paper analyzes the impact of land fragmentation and ownership of resources on productivity and technical efficiency in rice production in Bangladesh using farm level survey data. Results reveal that land fragmentation has a significant detrimental effect on productivity and efficiency as expected. The elasticity estimates of land fragmentation reveal that a 1% increase in land fragmentation reduces rice output by 0.05% and efficiency by 0.03%. On the other hand, ownership of key resources (land, family labour, and draft animals) significantly increases efficiency. The mean elasticity estimates reveal that a 1% increase in family labour and owned draft animal improve technical efficiency by 0.04% and 0.03%, respectively. Also, a 1% increase in the adoption of modern technology improves efficiency by 0.04%. The mean technical efficiency in rice production is estimated at 0.91 indicating little scope to improve rice production per se using existing varieties. Policy implications include addressing structural causes of land fragmentation (e.g., law of inheritance and political economy of agrarian structure), building of physical capital (e.g., land and livestock resources), improvements in extension services and adoption of modern rice technology.
