The \nobjectives of this study are to estimate the level of technical efficiency and to examine \nfactors affecting technical efficiency in paddy production among farmers of Danubyu \nTownship in the Ayeyarwaddy region. In this study, the two-stage simple random \nsampling method, the Cobb-Douglas type stochastic frontier production function, and \nthe Tobit regression model were used. The maximum likelihood estimates of the \nparameters of the frontier production function showed that paddy output was \npositively and significantly influenced by land area, fertilizer, and pesticide. The \nestimated mean level of technical efficiency of the sample farmers was about 89%. \nThis result shows that there exists a possibility to increase levels of paddy output by \n11% by efficiently utilizing the existing resources. Gender, educational level, farm \nexperience, and farm income from individual farmers\u0027 socioeconomic factors; plant \nprotection from farm-specific factors and the amount of credit; extension services; \ntraining; and membership in agricultural associations from institutional characteristics \nwere found to have a positive and significant effect on technical efficiency. As a \nresult, the study recommends that local governments or other concerned bodies should \nengage in developmental activities aimed at increasing production efficiency and \nshould focus on improving productivity by emphasizing the critical factor of technical \nefficiency that can be considered when developing agricultural policy in order to \nincrease the current level of technical efficiency and productivity in paddy production."}]}, "item_1583103120197": {"attribute_name": "Files", "attribute_type": "file", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"accessrole": "open_access", "date": [{"dateType": "Available", "dateValue": "2022-07-24"}], "displaytype": "preview", "download_preview_message": "", "file_order": 0, "filename": "U Thein Ko, PhD.Ba-1.pdf", "filesize": [{"value": "1.4 MB"}], "format": "application/pdf", "future_date_message": "", "is_thumbnail": false, "licensetype": "license_0", "mimetype": "application/pdf", "size": 1400000.0, "url": {"url": "https://meral.edu.mm/record/8289/files/U Thein Ko, PhD.Ba-1.pdf"}, "version_id": "54ed823f-4bd7-4993-b537-9e5b42ca6c2d"}]}, "item_1583103233624": {"attribute_name": "Thesis/dissertations", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"subitem_awarding_university": "Yangon University of Economics"}]}, "item_1583105942107": {"attribute_name": "Authors", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"subitem_authors": [{"subitem_authors_fullname": "Thein Ko"}]}]}, "item_1583108359239": {"attribute_name": "Upload type", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"interim": "Other"}]}, "item_1583108428133": {"attribute_name": "Publication type", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"interim": "Dissertation"}]}, "item_1583159729339": {"attribute_name": "Publication date", "attribute_value": "2022-05-01"}, "item_title": "An Analysis of the Technical Efficiency of Paddy Production in Ayayarwaddy Region (A Case Study of Danubyu Township)", "item_type_id": "21", "owner": "20", "path": ["1582965742757"], "permalink_uri": "https://meral.edu.mm/records/8289", "pubdate": {"attribute_name": "Deposit date", "attribute_value": "2022-07-24"}, "publish_date": "2022-07-24", "publish_status": "0", "recid": "8289", "relation": {}, "relation_version_is_last": true, "title": ["An Analysis of the Technical Efficiency of Paddy Production in Ayayarwaddy Region (A Case Study of Danubyu Township)"], "weko_shared_id": -1}
