Title	Economic Efficiency of Table Grape Production in Waterberg and Sekhukhune Districts, Limpopo Province, South Africa

Abstrakt	Table grape production plays an important role in the economy of many countries in Africa. It serves as a source of income for the people who are engaged in its production and being one of the enterprises that is labour-intensive, thereby providing employment for more people. The main purpose of this study was to analyse the economic efficiency of table grape production in Waterberg and Sekhukhune Districts of Limpopo province, South Africa. The study used primary data collected through administration of structured questionnaires on a sample of 12 farmers by employing a snowball sampling method. Analytical tools employed include descriptive statistics (such as tables and frequencies), Stochastic Frontier Model and Technical Inefficiency Model.Results from data analysis revealed that in terms of efficiency, farming experience (p<0.01), educational level (p<0.05), household size (p<0.10) and age of farmer (p<0.10) were associated with increased efficiency indicating that these factors play important roles in ensuring that resources used in the production of table grapes enhanced productivity and were not wasted. Also, technical efficiency among farmers was found to range from 0.8 to 1, with a mean of 0.89, thus implying a major possibility for improvement in production. However, the allocative efficiency was found to range from 0.47 to 1, with a mean of 0.68. This indicates that some farmers were finding it difficult to allocate their resources efficiently. Again, economic efficiency ranges from 0.56 to 1, with a mean of 0.73, an indication that most of the farmers were economically efficient. Meanwhile, some of the constraints faced by these farmers include high electricity bills and labour costs, water shortages as well as instability around land policy. The study therefore recommends capacity building of farmers through education and other skill enhancement programmes. Also, provision of incentives to encourage youth participation in farming through internship programmes is very important to increase farm productivity.

Tytuł	Determinanty i tendencje zmian efektywności ekonomicznej Colian S.A. na tle ogółu przedsiębiorstw przemysłu spożywczego w Polsce
Title	Determinants and trends in economic efficiency of Colian S.A. compared with the total food industry in Poland
Słowa kluczowe	poziom i struktura kosztów, efektywność ekonomiczna, rentowność, wartość dodana, pozaoperacyjne obszary rachunkowości
Key words	cost level, costs structure, economic efficiency, profitability, net value added, non-operational accounting areas
Abstrakt	W opracowaniu określono relacje między poziomem i zmianami struktury kosztów oraz efektywnością ekonomiczną przedsiębiorstwa na tle sektora produkcji artykułów spożywczych na podstawie studium przypadku Colian S.A. Wykorzystano zagregowane dane o poziomie cen i kosztów oraz wskaźniki rentowności operacyjnej aktywów (ROA), rentowności ekonomicznej sprzedaży (RES), rentowności netto i wartości dodanej wraz z danymi kosztów rodzajowych w układzie porównawczym. Poziom kosztów ogółem w sektorze i w spółce zwiększył się pomimo zmniejszenia w strukturze kosztów operacyjnych udziału kosztów materiałów i energii, wynagrodzeń, ubezpieczeń społecznych i innych świadczeń, amortyzacji oraz podatków i opłat. Tempo spadku rentowności operacyjnej aktywów i rentowności ekonomicznej sprzedaży oraz poziomu wartości dodanej było mniejsze niż wzrost poziomu kosztów, co może wynikać z działań w pozaoperacyjnych obszarach rachunkowości.
Abstract	The subject of the study undertaken was determination of relations between the level and structure of costs and the economic efficiency of the company of Polish food production sector, using the case study of Colian joint-stock company. The study adopted aggregated data of the prices and costs level, the profitability indicators of revenue of assets (ROA), the economic viability of sales (ROS), the net value added, and data from periodic reports on the structure of costs by comparative cost system. The level of costs in the sector and in the company increased, despite the decrease in the share of costs of materials and energy, wages and salaries, social security and other benefits, depreciation as well as taxes and fees in the cost structure. The rate of decline in the operating profitability of assets, the economic profitability of sales and the level of value added at enterprise was lower than the increase in the level of costs, which may result from non-operational activities.
