摘要

菠萝种植是马来西亚农业的重要组成部分。本研究旨在量化柔佛州小规模菠萝种植农的技术效率。随机前沿分析(SFA)是一种用于估算生产或成本前沿的统计方法,是实现这一目的的首选方法。该方法还用于确定影响菠萝农场技术实施的关键因素,如社会经济特征。共有 290 名菠萝种植者参与了这项研究,数据是在 2019 年至 2021 年的种植季节收集的。观察到的平均得分为 0.681,表明农业生产者的经营活动没有达到最高效率。然而,低效率模型显示,农业经验、推广访问和参加研讨会等方面大大降低了低效率。生产中的主要问题在于农业应用的次优化:农业生产者放弃使用所有可用的农业投入来实现最高产量。研究结果表明,有必要提高农业技术人员在菠萝种植农艺学方面的熟练程度和技能。 关键词:随机前沿分析;技术效率

Assessing Technical Efficiency in Malaysian Pineapple Farms: A Stochastic Frontier Analysis Approach
Pineapple cultivation proves to be a significant component of Malaysia's agricultural sector. This research was aimed at quantifying technical efficiency of Johor small-scale pineapple agriculturists. Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA), a statistical method used to estimate production or cost frontiers, was the preferred method for this purpose. This approach was also used to identify key elements, such as socio-economic characteristics, that influence technical implementation in pineapple farms. A total of 290 pineapple growers participated in the study, and data was collected between 2019 and 2021 during the growing season. The mean observed score of 0.681 is an indication of agriculturists non- maximum efficiency operation activity. However, the inefficiency model showed that aspects such as agricultural experience, extension visits, and participation in workshops significantly reduced inefficiency. The main problem in production points to suboptimal farming applications: agriculturists abstain from using all available agricultural inputs to achieve maximum production. The findings of the study emphasise the need for agriculturists’ proficiency refinement and upskilling in pineapple cultivation agrarian andragogy. Keywords: stochastic frontier analysis, technical efficiency
