Podstawka M. Inflacja a koszty produkcji wybranych produktów rolniczych w 2022 roku
Autor | Marian Podstawka |
Tytuł | Inflacja a koszty produkcji wybranych produktów rolniczych w 2022 roku |
Title | INFLATION AND PRODUCTION COSTS OF SELECTED AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS IN POLAND IN 2022 |
Słowa kluczowe | produkcja rolna, inflacja, cena, prognoza |
Key words | agricultural production, inflation, price, forecast |
Abstrakt | Celem opracowania było przedstawienie działań podejmowanych, w ostatnich latach, przez państwowe władze publiczne wpływających na inflację w Polsce. Na tym tle dokonano oceny wzrostu cen na rolnicze kupowane środki produkcji, które skorelowano ze strukturą kosztów i na tej podstawie oszacowany został wzrost kosztów produkcji podstawowych produktów rolniczych w 2022 roku. Następnie ten prognozowany wzrost kosztów produkcji odniesiono do szacowanych przychodów. Pozwoliło to ustalić ich wzrost, który umożliwiałby utrzymanie dotychczasowego poziomu dochodów rolniczych. Działania ratunkowe rządu wywołane przez COVID-19 miały trzy główne źródła finansowania:
• wydatki budżetu państwa i budżetu środków europejskich – 23,2 mld zł,
• Fundusz Przeciwdziałania COVID-19 – 92,7 mld zł,
• tarcze finansowe Polskiego Funduszu Rozwoju – 63,5 mld zł,
O ile działania interwencyjne rządu, w warunkach kryzysu, należy ocenić pozytywnie, to ich sposoby realizacji krytycznie. Wsparcie finansowe w ramach tarcz otrzymały firmy, które wykazywały spadek obrotów spowodowany pandemią koronawirusa. W efekcie wspierano te firmy, które być może celowo tworzyły warunki do otrzymania wsparcia. Firmy dobrze prosperujące w warunkach COVID-19 takiego wsparcia były natomiast pozbawione.
We wszystkich analizowanych rodzajach działalności produkcji rolniczej roślinnej w 2022 roku nastąpi wzrost kosztów ich wytwarzania o około 50-60% Wyjątkiem będzie produkcja żyta, gdzie wzrost kosztów będzie jeszcze wyższy. |
Abstract | The aim of the paper is to present measures taken in recent years by state public authorities
that affect inflation in Poland. An assessment was made of the growth in prices for purchased
agricultural inputs, which was correlated with cost structures, and on this basis an increase in the
production costs of basic agricultural products in 2022 was estimated. This projected increase in
production costs was then related to estimated income. This made it possible to determine their
growth, which would allow the current level of agricultural income to be maintained. The
government rescue measures triggered by COVID-19 had three main sources of funding:
expenditure of the state budget and the budget of European funds - PLN 23.2 billion, COVID-19
Counteracting Fund - PLN 92.7 billion, and financial shields of the Polish Development Fund -
PLN 63.5 billion,
While the government's intervention activities, under the conditions of the crisis, should be
assessed positively, their methods of implementation should be assessed critically. Financial
support under the shields was given to companies that showed a decline in turnover caused by the
coronavirus pandemic. As a result, those companies that may have deliberately created the
conditions to receive support were supported. In all analyzed types of agricultural crop production
activities in 2022, there will be an increase in the cost of their production by about 50-60%. The
exception will be the production of rye, where the cost increase will be even higher. |

Title | Trade Liberalization Policy and Competitiveness of Cocoa Beans Exports in Nigeria (1961-2017) |
Słowa kluczowe | cocoa, competitiveness, market share, trade liberalization policy and vector error correction model |
Key words | cocoa, competitiveness, market share, trade liberalization policy and vector error correction model |
Abstrakt | The cocoa sector in Nigeria has experienced decline in production, yield, exports coupled with its inability to attain global standards and targets and, gradual loss of competitiveness at the world market. Trade liberalization was government’s panacea to the sector’s problem although, cocoa competitiveness remains an issue since liberalization. Therefore, the relationship between trade liberalization policy and competitiveness of Nigeria’s cocoa exports was examined in this study using data for the period 1961-2017. Cocoa market share was used to measure competitiveness while analytical tools employed were: ADF test, Johansen co-integration test and the vector error correction model (VECM). Market share, quantity of cocoa export and inflation rate were stationary at original level while others, at first difference. The co-integration test showed seven co-integrating equations. Trade liberalization policy was found to be an important driver of competitiveness. In addition, area harvested, production quantity and export quantity positively influenced competitiveness while world price of cocoa, interest rate on agricultural loans, exchange rate and trade liberalization influenced negatively. Therefore, appropriate trade policy formulation and implementation is recommended while, specific attention should be paid to monetary policies and cocoa production by the government. |

Title | Changes in the Production, Foreign Trade and Domestic Consumption of Potatoes in Poland in 2001-2019 |
Słowa kluczowe | ziemniak, produkcja, import, eksport |
Key words | potato, production, imports export |
Abstrakt | Przedmiotem analizy była produkcja ziemniaków, zużycie krajowe i obroty handlu zagranicznego (eksport i import) w Polsce w latach 2001-2019. W oparciu o wyniki analiz określono średniookresową projekcję (na 2025 r.) obejmującą produkcję, kierunki wykorzystania w kraju i obroty handlu zagranicznego ziemniakami i ich przetworami. Analizowane dane pochodziły z GUS oraz IERiGŻ-PIB. Produkcja ziemniaków w Polsce w latach 2001-2019 charakteryzowała się tendencją spadkową. Wolniejszy spadek zbiorów niż powierzchni wynikał z poprawy plonowania. W zużyciu krajowym występowały różnokierunkowe tendencje: spadkowa w spożyciu ziemniaków ogółem, w eksporcie ziemniaków nieprzetworzonych, w przetwórstwie w gorzelnictwie i w stratach w przechowalnictwie oraz wzrostowa w przetwórstwie spożywczym i pozostałym przemysłowym. W handlu zagranicznym zaobserwowano poprawę dodatniego salda handlu przetworami z ziemniaków oraz pogłębianie się ujemnego salda handlu ziemniakami. Z projekcji rozwoju na 2025 r. wynika, że produkcja ziemniaków w Polsce może wynosić 7250- 7540 tys. t, a zapotrzebowanie - 7430-7570 tys. t. Import niezbędny ziemniaków świeżych może wynosić rocznie 30-180 tys. t. |
Abstract | The subject of the analysis was potato production, domestic consumption and foreign trade turnover (export and import) in Poland in 2001-2019. Based on the results of the analyzes, a medium-term projection (for 2025) was defined, covering production, directions of domestic use and foreign trade turnover of potatoes and their products. The analyzed data came from the Central Statistical Office and Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics- National Research Institute. Potato production in Poland in 2001-2019 was characterized by a downward trend. The slower drop in the harvest than in the area was due to the improvement in yield. There were various trends in domestic consumption: a decrease in total potato consumption, in the export of unprocessed potatoes, in processing in distilling and losses in storage, and an increase in food processing and other industrial processing. In foreign trade, an improvement in the positive balance of trade in potato products and a deepening of the negative trade balance in potatoes was observed. The development projection for 2025 shows that the production of potatoes in Poland may amount to 7,250,000- 7,540,000 thousand tonnes, and the demand – 7430 7570 thousand tonnes. The necessary import of fresh potatoes can amount to 30-180 thousand tonnes annually. |

Słowa kluczowe | agricultural information, Imbulpe, information needs, Sri Lanka, women farmers |
Key words | agricultural information, Imbulpe, information needs, Sri Lanka, women farmers |
Abstrakt | The study was conducted to find out female farmers’ agricultural information needs and their impact on food production, in the Imbulpe DS Division in Sri Lanka. Of the female farmers in the area, 238 were taken as the sample for the study from seven selected Grama Niladhari (GN) divisions in the area. Female farmers were selected by using a simple random sampling method from these purposively selected GN divisions. A pre-tested, interviewer-administered questionnaire survey was used as the primary data collection method from March to July 2019. Data analysis was done by using descriptive statistics and chi-square analysis. The result revealed that the majority (62.6%) of respondents were middle aged (40-59 years), married, and belonged to families with 4-5 members. Most respondents (64.3 %) had studied up to junior secondary education level. Their average farm land size is 0.84 acres and they have farming experience of about 15 years. Most of the respondents mentioned that they had obtained higher levels of information needs about improved crop varieties. In addition, female farmers reported that they moderately need information on application of agrochemicals, improved market systems and modern farming technologies. Extension agents and other female farmers act as their major sources of agricultural information and ICT equipment acts as the least important agricultural information source in this area. Moreover, there is a significant positive association between the agricultural information needs and food production. Therefore, providing necessary agricultural information and enhanced utilization of ICT tools for agricultural information sources, and encouraging female farmers to participate in farming societies will lead to enhanced food production in this area. |

Title | Outlook of Present Organic Agriculture Policies and Future Needs in Sri Lanka |
Słowa kluczowe | conventional agriculture, organic agriculture, organic farming policies, Sri Lanka |
Key words | conventional agriculture, organic agriculture, organic farming policies, Sri Lanka |
Abstrakt | Many countries are formulating organic agriculture or organic farming policies aimed at sustainable agricultural development. Therefore, the objectives of this study were: to understand the present situation of organic agriculture policies in Sri Lanka and also in other countries where successful organic agriculture is operating; identify problems in the organic agriculture sector; and suggest potential policy measures to be implemented in Sri Lanka in future. The research was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, a thorough literature review was conducted to study the suitable policies available in other countries and also in Sri Lanka at present. In the second stage, two field surveys were carried out using pre-tested questionnaires, from December 2019 to May 2020, in order to gather farmers’ and extension officers’ information related to organic farming policy suggestions. According to the findings of the literature review, organic systems in some countries are more integrated with national strategic plans and visions. Those governments are more involved in new initiatives and farmers are encouraged to go organic through reliable and feasible policies. Although Sri Lanka has a high potential for organic agriculture, at present it is at an initial stage. While most organic products in Sri Lanka go to the export market, a small portion is kept at local markets. Demand for organic products in export as well as domestic markets is increasing. Even though there are seven international food certification agencies operating in the country as external inspection and certification bodies, a limited number of accredited certifications exist for products on the domestic market. Results of the farmers’ survey showed that even if farmers have a significant level of knowledge, few of them practice organic farming due to several existing problems. Moreover, extension officers have also identified similar types of problems that are faced by the farmers related to organic farming. Evaluation of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) related to organic agriculture in the country helped to identify key problems facing policy-makers when balancing the supply and demand sides of organic products. Also, in developing organic agriculture, an effective linkage and coordination among government and private participants is crucial. Therefore, in Sri Lanka in this context, strategic focus on policy support for organic agriculture is needed. Current organic farming programs need to be revised in order to formulate policies covering all areas related to production, handling, processing, certification, labeling and marketing, in order to bring the benefits of organic agriculture to farmers, marketers and consumers in a fair manner. |

Key words | |
Abstrakt | Bearing in mind a serious dependence of Ukraine on the import of oil products, it is
of great significance for Ukraine to develop own manufacture and to increase the share of oil
product substitution with biofuel. It is not possible to develop biofuel market without solving
a number of economic and organizational problems, which is why it is expedient to introduce
financial-economic stimuli for biofuel producers and to build a stable demand for alternative
kinds of fuel. In Ukraine the manufacture of alternative fuels almost terminated, however the
solution of the problem of biofuel manufacture will depend on the coordination of joint actions
of the state, participants of market relations and the development of the system of measures
aimed at the creation of pre-conditions to enhance a competitive biofuel market in Ukraine,
taking into consideration foreign experience and current tendencies of the manufacture and
use of the alternative energy sources. |

Słowa kluczowe | dairy, index of competitiveness |
Key words | |
Abstrakt | Defining the state of competitiveness for a particular agricultural sector is of great importance. By retaining a competitive market position sustainable economic development of the specific agricultural production is supported. Continuation of its multiple economic functions like providing raw materials for the processing industry, securing rural employment, and utilization of scarce agricultural resources is the focus of competi_x0002_tiveness goals. In the economic theory, there is no unified definition for competitiveness, while there are a va_x0002_riety of approaches to measure it, which is reflected in different applied theoretical frameworks. The research aims to compare the competitiveness of the Bulgarian dairy sector versus the EU, the USA, and New Zealand dairy sectors on the world market for the period after the accession of Bulgaria in the EU. Therefore, a con_x0002_ceptual framework has been chosen developed by Canada’s Task Force for Competitiveness. The framework is based on the ability to gain and sustainably maintain market share. For the chosen period the results show a trend of decline in the competitiveness of the Bulgarian dairy sector and improvement in the competitive_x0002_ness of the EU dairy sector. For the EU comparison, indexes of competitiveness have been calculated for the USA and New Zealand. The USA’s index slightly decreased at the end of the explored period reflecting the increased competition on the world markets while New Zealand’s high index values reveal its position as a leading dairy products exporter. |

Tytuł | Wpływ zniesienia kwot mlecznych na funkcjonowanie gospodarstw specjalizujących się w produkcji mleka |
Title | Impact of the Abolition of Milk Quotas on the Functioning of Dairy Farms |
Słowa kluczowe | produkcja mleka, gospodarstwa rolne, zniesienie kwot mlecznych |
Key words | dairy production, farms, the abolition of milk quotas |
Abstrakt | Rynek mleka od początku integracji europejskiej należał do najbardziej uregulowanych. Jednym w kluczowych instrumentów, które miały zapewnić jego stabilizację były wprowadzone w 1984 r. kwoty mleczne. Dążąc do większej liberalizacji rynku mleka UE zdecydowała o zniesieniu od 1 kwietnia 2015 r. limitów produkcji. Fakt ten znacząco zmienił warunki funkcjonowania gospodarstw specjalizujących się w produkcji mleka. Celem artykułu była próba ukazania jak zniesienie limitowania produkcji mleka wpłynęło na funkcjonowanie polskich gospodarstw mleczarskich. Podstawowym źródeł informacji były wyniki badań ankietowych przeprowadzonych wśród 1047 właścicieli gospodarstw specjalizujących się w produkcji mleka. Informacje te uzupełniono danymi Agencji Rynku Rolnego, Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego oraz Eurostat. W opinii ponad połowy respondentów na skutek likwidacji w 2015 r. kwot mlecznych pogorszyła się sytuacja ich gospodarstwa. Wynikało to przede wszystkim z niskich cen mleka, które wpłynęły na obniżenie opłacalności produkcji. Z tego względu aż 62% badanych było zdania, że na rynku mleka powinien być większy stopień interwencji. |
Abstract | The milk market was one of the most regulated since the beginning of European integration. One of the key instruments to stabilize this market was milk quota. It was introduced in 1984. Aiming at greater milk market liberalization, the EU decided to lift limits of the production from 1 April 2015. This fact significantly changed the operating conditions of dairy farms. The aim of the article was to show how the implementation (along with Poland's accession to the EU), and then the abolition of milk production, affected the situation of Polish dairy farms. The primary sources of information were the results of a survey in 1047 dairy farm owners operating throughout the country. This information was supplemented by Agriculture Market Agency and Milk Market Observatory data. In the opinion of more than half of the respondents, as a result of the abolition of milk quotas in 2015, the situation of their farms worsted. This fact was primarily due to the low prices of raw milk, which was driven by lower efficiency of production. As a result, 62% of the respondents believed that there should be a greater degree of intervention on the milk market. |

Abstrakt | Aktualnie duże znaczenie w agrobiznesie mają przemysłowe środki produkcji rolnej, w tym zwłaszcza nawozy mineralne oraz chemiczne środki ochrony roślin. W artykule próbowano przedstawić i porównać zmiany wartości zużytych nawozów i środków ochrony roślin w krajach Unii Europejskiej w latach 2010-2018. Badano zmiany wartości zużytych nawozów i środków ochrony roślin w przeliczeniu na 1 ha UR oraz zmiany udziału omawianych środków produkcji w zużyciu pośrednim. Stwierdzono, że wartość zużytych nawozów i środków ochrony roślin w przeliczeniu na 1 ha UR średnio w UE zwiększyła się. Wzrósł ich również udział w zużyciu pośrednim. W wyniku grupowania obiektów metodą Warda otrzymano 4 skupienia krajów, które różniły się pomiędzy sobą pod względem zaproponowanych cech, natomiast kraje, które tworzyły dane skupienie charakteryzowały się zbliżonymi wartościami zmiennych. Krajami w których zaobserwowano zarówno wyraźny wzrost wartości zużytych nawozów i środków ochrony roślin w przeliczeniu na jednostkę powierzchni jak również zdecydowane zwiększenie ich wartości w zużyciu pośrednim były: Litwa, Bułgaria i Estonia. Spadek popytu na omawiane środki produkcji wystąpił natomiast w Belgii, Chorwacji, Słowenii, Danii, Finlandii oraz w Portugalii. |
Abstract | Currently, agricultural means of production are of great importance in agribusiness, in particular mineral fertilizers and chemical plant protection products. The article attempts to present and compare changes in the value of used fertilizers and plant protection products in European Union countries in 2010-2018. Changes in the value of used fertilizers and plant protection products per 1 ha of UAA and changes in the share of these means of production in intermediate consumption were examined. It was found that the value of used fertilizers and plant protection products per 1 ha of UAA increased on average in the EU. Their share in intermediate consumption also increased. As a result of grouping objects using the Ward method, 4 clusters of countries were obtained, which differed in terms of the proposed features, while the countries that created the given cluster were characterized by similar values of variables. The countries where both a clear increase in the value of used fertilizers and plant protection products per unit area as well as a significant increase in their value in intermediate consumption were observed: Lithuania, Bulgaria and Estonia. However, a decline in demand for the discussed means of production occurred in Belgium, Croatia, Slovenia, Denmark, Finland and Portugal. |

Title | Policy Assessment of Wheat Production in Turkey |
Słowa kluczowe | policy analysis matrix, wheat production, Turkey |
Key words | policy analysis matrix, wheat production, Turkey |
Abstrakt | Turkey plays a significant role in global wheat trade, importing wheat grain and exporting processed wheat products such as pasta, flour and biscuits. Wheat growing areas in Turkey have shown a decrease of about 10% over the last decade. Although an increase in yields keeps the production amount in balance, policies toward the wheat sector have reached a more critical point due to an increasing population and growing demand on the wheat flour sector. In this study, the profitability and sustainability of the sector were analyzed by using the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) approach, and by examining the effects of the policies that have been applied on the wheat market recently. According to the PAM results, domestic wheat prices are higher than world prices due to existing policies and the wheat sector is not competitive without support. |

Słowa kluczowe | food security, food security indicators, food consumption, accessibility, solvency |
Key words | |
Abstrakt | The article analyzes the domestic and world methods of assessing the level of food
security. The national peculiarities of food security are considered, its level in Ukraine is analyzed
according to the indicators of daily energy value of human diet, consumption of different
types of food per capita, food structure and food independence. The calculated indicators of
adequacy of consumption for certain foods are quite low, in particular: fish and fish products;
fruits, berries and grapes; milk and dairy products; meat and meat products. These indicators
are evidence of an imbalance in the diet of the population, which is trying to provide their own
energy needs through more affordable products. The key problem of food security in Ukraine
today is the affordability of products. It is the low purchasing power of the population that in
some way hinders the development of production and the economy as a whole. |

Abstrakt | The paper covers the analysis of the development of the crop output market in
Ukraine which ensures both food security of the country and the production of alternative fuel.
The preconditions of negative changes in agriculture of Ukraine were studied. High profitability
of corn and sunflower production encourages producers to increase their sown areas. The
analysis of the production of some agricultural crops was made in the years of 2000–2019.
The challenge of the use of nutritious residues of agricultural crops is discussed in the paper.
The estimation of the production efficiency of some kinds of agricultural products at farm
enterprises of Ukraine for the period of 2009–2019 was made. Some ecological-economical
aspects of the use of nutritious residues of agricultural crops to balance mineral crop nutrition
and to manufacture bio-fuel were suggested. |

Hutsol T., Kovalenko V., Kovalenko N., Zasada M. Economic efficiency of production of herbal granules
Autor | Taras Hutsol, Vitalii Kovalenko, Nataliia Kovalenko, Michal Zasada |
Tytuł | Economic efficiency of production of herbal granules |
Title | |
Słowa kluczowe | managerial decision making, feed production, the efficiency of the production of
granulated feed |
Key words | |
Abstrakt | Improving production efficiency, increasing gross and marketable output is inextricably
linked to comprehensive intensification, that is, with the growth of additional investments
in the development of agricultural production. The increase in capital investments is
the basis for strengthening and improving the material and technical base, and for implementing
scientific and technological progress. Increasing the intensity of agriculture and animal
husbandry contributes to more efficient use of land and livestock, increasing crop yields and
livestock productivity. The main link between crop production and animal husbandry is feed
production. Creating a solid feed base is the most important condition for the development of
animal husbandry. Its state and level of development determine the possibility of increasing
the number of animals, increasing their productivity, improving the quality of products and
reducing the cost of the latter. It is proved that the level of productivity of animals by 50-80%
is determined by their feeding. Due to the importance of feed, it is necessary that their production
is ahead of the pace of needs (growth of livestock and its productivity). When forming
a feed base, it is important to take into account not only the total volume of feed that will
ensure the production of a certain amount of products, but also their balance with nutrients.
As a rule, feed, namely green feed, silage, haylage, is not a commodity product, that is, there
are no permanent markets for them. These types of feed are grown by those farms that are
engaged in animal husbandry and must create their own raw material base for obtaining the
main feed. |

Słowa kluczowe | produkcja, eksport, import, soja, kraje UE |
Key words | production, export, import, soybean, EU countries |
Abstrakt | Ze względu na niedostatek białka paszowego z produkcji krajowej, państwa UE są znaczącymi importerami nasion i śrut z roślin strączkowych, w tym przede wszystkim soi i śruty sojowej. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie zmian w produkcji i handlu soją w wybranych krajach UE w latach 2000-2017. W badaniach wykorzystano dane wtórne pochodzące z zasobów Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych do spraw Wyżywienia i Rolnictwa (FAO). Omówiono zmiany w wolumenie produkcji soi w krajach jej największych producentów w UE, wartość i wolumen obrotów handlowych soją w państwach największych eksporterów i importerów, ich udziały w handlu oraz wyniki bilansu handlowego. Wolumen produkcji soi w krajach UE zwiększał się wolniej niż zapotrzebowanie na wysokobiałkowe surowce paszowe, powodując wzrost wartości przywozu soi i stawiając państwa UE w roli importerów netto tego surowca. Inaczej niż w Polsce, zwiększenie wartości przywozu nie wynikało jednak ze wzrostu jego wolumenu. Największymi importerami soi w UE były Holandia, Hiszpania i Niemcy. |
Abstract | Due to the deficit in feed protein from domestic production, EU countries are significant importers of legume crops and meals, including soybean and soybean meal. The aim of the paper is to present changes in soybean production and trade in selected EU countries in 2000-2017. Secondary data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) database were used in the research. The following issues were discussed: the changes in the volume of soybean production in the countries of its largest producers in the EU, the value and quantity of trade flows in the countries of the largest exporters and importers, their share in trade and trade balance. The volume of soybean production in the EU countries has increased more slowly than the demand for high-protein fodder raw materials, resulting in an increase in the value of soybean imports and making EU countries net importers of this raw material. Unlike in Poland, the increase in the value of imports was not due to an increase in its volume. The Netherlands, Spain and Germany were the largest soybean importers in the EU. |

Słowa kluczowe | efficiency, farmers, table grapes, South Africa, stochastic frontier model |
Key words | efficiency, farmers, table grapes, South Africa, stochastic frontier model |
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. |
