The Technical Efficiency and Resource use Efficiency of Black Gram Production in Villupuram District of Tamil Nadu
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
The present study was an attempt to estimate resource use efficiency and technical efficiency of Black gram producing farms in Villupuram district of Tamil Nadu. Multi stage random sampling was used to collect the data from the farmers. Data Envelopment Analyses (DEA) and regression models were used for estimating the technical and resource use efficiency and its determining factors respectively. Coefficient of multiple determinations (R2) in the fitted Cobb Douglas production was 0.89. The R2 value for small, medium and large farms were 0.87 and 0.87 respectively. Most of the farms had the potential to expand production and productivity. Out of 120 farms, nearly 70 farms were found to be increasing returns to scale, increasing technical efficiency as majority have been performing with increasing return to scale.
