Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the efficiency of the production of healthy rice and that of other varieties grown in the upper northern region, by using Meta-Frontier approach in analyzing the rice production efficiency. This study focuses on rice production of farmers by comparing between healthy rice growers and farmers of other rice varieties about 300 and 900 sampling respectively, in the areas of Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Phayao. In analyzing the efficiency used one variable of the output, the quantity of rice products and five input variables namely quantity of seeds, cost of soil nourishment fertilizer, cost of weeding, cost of labor in production, and cost of labor for harvesting. The study found that there were more variables for analyzing the efficiency of other rice varieties of rice than those of the healthy rice. Plus, general rice growers had higher production efficiency than healthy rice farmers (0.9439> 0.8604). However, it seems that they should reduce more production factors, particularly labor in production and that in harvesting. Meanwhile, the overall economy of scale had increased while that of each group appeared to be unchanged. Contribution/Originality: This study is one of very few studies which have examined the efficiency of the production of healthy rice and that of other varieties grown in the upper northern region, by using Meta-Frontier approach in analyzing the rice production efficiency. Abstract: This research aims to examine rice production costs and returns as well as to focus on reducing inputs used by farmers implementing rice transplanting and direct seeding approaches. By studying the optimal use of agricultural inputs, excessive inputs are used to create a model of expected cost and return in terms of the budget procedure.

泰国上北部地区健康水稻与其他水稻品种生产的效果比较
本研究的目的是通过Meta-Frontier方法对水稻生产效率进行分析,以检验北部北部地区健康水稻和其他品种的生产效率。本研究的重点是通过比较清迈、清莱和Phayao地区健康水稻种植者和其他水稻品种农民的水稻生产情况,分别进行了约300和900次抽样调查。在分析效率时,使用了产量这一变量和5个输入变量,即种子数量、土壤营养肥成本、除草成本、生产人工成本和收获人工成本。研究发现,与健康水稻相比,其他水稻品种的效率分析变量更多。普通稻农的生产效率高于健康稻农(0.9439> 0.8604)。然而,他们似乎应该减少更多的生产要素,特别是生产和收获中的劳动力。同时,总体规模经济有所增加,而各组的规模经济似乎没有变化。贡献/独创性:本研究是为数不多的利用Meta-Frontier方法分析水稻生产效率的研究之一,该研究考察了北部北部地区健康水稻和其他品种的生产效率。摘要/ Abstract摘要:本研究旨在考察水稻生产成本和收益,并重点研究采用水稻移栽和直接播种方法的农民减少投入的问题。通过研究农业投入的最优利用,利用过度投入建立了一个预算程序下的预期成本和回报模型。研究结果表明,减少生产投入的农户成本和收益均高于不减少生产投入的农户。同时,第1组农民的净收益(cid:12)在统计学上显著(cid:12)较低。然而,当投入减少时,水稻种植者的生产成本就降低了。此外,由于产品质量高,回报率略高。根据研究结果(cid:12),建议水稻种植者鼓励家庭成员更加重视水稻生产,以提高水稻移栽生产的潜力,从而提高生产效率(cid:14)和高回报。摘要本研究旨在分析北上地区农户插秧和直播两种水稻生产方式的生产效率,找出影响水稻生产效率的因素。本研究采用DEA作为标杆方法,利用Tobit模型对水稻生产效率进行分析。结果表明,有大量农户自行投资生产水稻。个人投资对效率有负向影响,教育水平对效率有正向影响。
