在喀麦隆西南部的农民小农可可的技术效率分析

摘要

在这项研究中，我们评估在农民的小农可可技术效率Meme division of South West Region，Cameroon通过随机生产函数和实地调查，本研究进一步探讨可可业社会经济影响喀麦隆经济。使用一个参与式的研究方法，收集资料，从515户户主在四个村庄的可可生产的数量，每公顷可可树的数量，数量的肥料，劳动力的可用性和社会经济特征。我们的研究结果表明，技术效率范围在0.11和0.99之间，平均技术效率为0.86。我们也观察到获得信贷和扩展服务，显着影响技术效率。因此，创新的制度安排，提高推广和农民培训，伴随着改善信贷获得有可能有效地提高可可生产在这一部分的喀麦隆和其他地方。
