“…Similar results were reported for farmers in Turkey (Alemdar and Işik, 2008;Gul et al, 2009;Demircan et al, 2010;Parlakay et al, 2015), Pakistan (Battese et al, 1996), Cameroon (Binam et al, 2004), and Nigeria (Idiong, 2007). However, some authors stated that there was a negative relationship between education level and efficiency (Kaliba and Engle, 2004;Alemdar and Ören, 2006;Cinemre et al, 2006;Koc et al, 2011;Parlakay et al, 2015).…”

-This study estimates the technical efficiency of goat rearing in the province of Isparta in Turkey using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The data used were collected from 92 goat farmers using the stratified sampling method by means of a questionnaire. The technical efficiency of the goat farming varied widely between 0.13 and 1.00. The mean efficiency of 92 goat farms was calculated to be 0.44 and 0.66 for constant and variable returns to scale assumptions, respectively. The greatest slacks were in feedstuff concentrates and labour used. The most significant factors affecting efficiency of goat production were farmer experience, cooperative membership, milk yield per goat, and family and hired labour. Technical efficiency should be improved by providing farmers with well-organised education, an extension program, and research and development programs on goat rearing.

“…This approach has several advantages, such as not requiring prior assumptions regarding the direction of influence and the ability to accommodate more than one variable with continuous or categorical variables. A Tobit regression approach will be used for estimating the potential determents of technical and economic efficiencies, because the dependent variables lie in the interval of (0-1) (Binam et al, 2004;Chavas et al, 2005;Cinemre et al, 2006), which are given as: In order to determine the factors contributing to technical and cost efficiencies, the following model was formulated and estimated using the computer software DEAP (Coelli, 1996).…”

Saudi Arabia has dates as the most important agriculture crop, from both production and area harvested sides, its area was 155 thousand hectares and production was 991 thousand tons in 2010. Even that, the post production stage for dates did not developed to offer the efficient marketing services. Technical and cost efficiency estimation of date marketing became a necessary step to develop date marketing services. This study explores the relationship between, date marketing efficiencies, technical (TE) and cost (CE), and date marketing objectives, with special reference to date marketing scales (Y), date marketing margin (MM), and date marketing classical efficiency as ratio between date marketing margins to date marketing costs (MM/MC). Results of this case study indicated that technical efficiency, based on dates marketing scale objective, gets the highest value at Madena (0.80) while lowest was at Al-Hassa (0.68). While cost efficiency did not change much as it was 0.23 at Al-Hassa and 0.20 at the other 3 provinces. While for date marketing margin objective, the technical and cost efficiencies are the same, 0.7 and 0.2, respectively for all the studied four provinces. The ratio of market margin to marketing costs (MM/MC), as an objective, has its impact on technical efficiency for date marketing was about 0.7, for 3 provinces except at Riyadh, it was 0.6. The dates marketing cost efficiencies for all 4 provinces have the same value of 0.2.

“…A TOBIT regression approach was used to estimate the potential determinants of DEA technical and economic efficiencies because the efficiency estimates had (1) as an upper limit and (0) as a lower limit. A number of previous studies have used the same approach with a TOBIT model (Binam et al, 2004;Chavas et al, 2005;Cinemre et al, 2006) which is given as: (3) (4) CEi = the measure of cost efficiency for the date marketing unit (DMU), Vij = explanatory variables which influence the cost efficiency of the date marketing units, including personal characteristics, such as education, experience and whether date marketing was an inherited job; and marketing unit characteristics such as trade type, business start date, engagement in other activities than date marketing, and the income share of date marketing with the other activities. N = an index of the variables, β & u = parameters of the model and the random error term, respectively.…”

A two-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach was applied to explore the relationship between date marketing efficiencies in Saudi Arabia and estimates of technical and cost efficiencies. Special reference was made to the objectives of date marketing traders: namely, increasing the scale and margins of date marketing and achieving the highest ratio of date marketing margin to date marketing cost, thereby enabling the impact of improved date marketing efficiency to be estimated. In addition, the research paper analyses the determinants of technical and cost efficiencies in an econometric framework using a TOBIT model to assess the impacts of the determinants on date marketing traders in Saudi Arabia. The results showed that Saudi Arabia has great potential to improve its date marketing efficiency and to achieve an additional 51% of added value annually, increasing from a current figure of about US$2.67 billion per year to about US$4.01 billion per year with improved economic efficiency. The results also showed that developing date marketing in Saudi Arabia needs policies which relate the traditional concept of market efficiency to the technical and cost efficiencies of date marketing. Such policies would help to establish the programmes and tools which are needed to achieve marketing goals.
