Abstract

Abstract:

The agricultural productivity and production are continued to be at low level despite the use of critical inputs may be due to the resource-use inefficiency in the paddy farms. Keeping this in view an attempt has been made in this paper to estimate the technical efficiency across the farm sizes (small, medium and big) and villages (irrigated, tailed-irrigated and nonirrigated) under study in Bargarh district of Orissa by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA).It is found from the study that the productivity is often affected by the resource-use and technical inefficiencies of farms even though the small farms were comparatively found less technically inefficient compared to others and hence appropriate adjustment mechanism may be suggested for improvement in efficiency and productivity.
