Descripción
El análisis sobre la eficiencia económica de la producción de arroz riego a nivel de fincas, se centró en medir indicadores de eficiencia técnica, distributiva y económica usando una muestra de corte transversal, empleando el enfoque de funciones frontera determinísticas mediante la especificación y ajuste de una función de ingresos brutos. Los resultados empíricos soportan que, un agricultor promedio podría aumentar significativamente los rendimientos por hectárea hasta en un 53%, reducir los costos variables unitarios hasta en un 34.5% y aumentar las ganancias brutas antes de cubrir los costos fijos hasta en un 70% si usara y combinara los recursos de tierra, mano de obra e insumos al nivel de los agricultores más eficientes económicamente en la región. Al final, se plantean sugerencias con el objeto de cerrar brechas de rendimiento.
This paper aimed at ascertaining the level of technical, distributive and economic efficiency through cross sectional data from rice farmers’s fields. With this end in mind, a deterministic gross revenue frontier function approach was used. The empirical evidence supported the notion that an average rice farmer in this region could increase current rice yields up to 53%, reduce unit variable costs up to 34.5% and increase gross revenue (before covering fixed costs) up to 70% if He/she were to use and combine land, labor and purchased inputs at similar levels and fashions as those employed by best practice farmers in the sample. At the end suggestions are raised in order to bridge yield gaps.
