Analysis on Technical Efficiency in the Process of Exploitation Palm Oil in Lobaye Locality, Central Africa Republic

摘要

The present was carried out of Technical Efficiency in the Process of Exploitation Palm Oil in Lobaye Locality, Central Africa Republic. Primary data used in the study were collected through well-structured questionnaire administered with 150 randomly selected oil palm processors in the study area. Descriptive statistics, analysis and the Stochastic Frontier Production Function were used to analyze the data. The average technical efficiency of agricultural production by farmers on a variable scale of yield is 0.81. This means that agricultural production will increase by 0.68% compared to the current level of inputs . The result shows that 0.95% of the sample is the technical efficiency of the variable scale inputs. This means that agricultural production can be increased. Results have shown that productivity is significantly influenced by producer education in the area of yield. It is recommended that policies improve the training of producers in order to build capacity to continuously increase their regular production.
