Technical Efficiencyf of Farm Household Tea Production: A Case Study in Yen Son District, Tuyen Quang Province
Keywords
Tea production, economic efficiency, technical efficiency, agricultural extension policy
Abstract
This study was conducted to analyze the current economic efficiency and evaluate technical efficiency in tea production through a survey of 293 farming households in Yen Son district, Tuyen Quang province. The research focused on economic efficiency analysis and applied the stochastic Translog frontier function to estimate the level of technical efficiency in tea production. The results revealed an economic efficiency of VND 97.3 million /ha/crop, while the average technical efficiency level reached approximately 31.84%, indicating significant potential for improving tea productivity in the region. The study also identified that factors influencing economic and technical efficiency included household production characteristics, tea varieties, and organic farming methods, all of which contribute to enhancing tea productivity and quality while improving technical efficiency in production. Therefore, agricultural extension policies, training, and capacity-building programs are expected to continue playing a crucial role in promoting the sustainable development of the tea industry in Vietnam.
