Title

A STUDY ON TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY OF PADDY CULTIVATION IN WEST GARO HILLS DISTRICT OF MEGHALAYA

Abstract

The determination of technical efficiency is very crucial in analyzing the resource use efficiency of an agricultural product. A farmer attains technical efficiency when maximum production is yield by utilizing a minimum quantity of inputs. Therefore, in the present study, an attempt has been made to study the technical efficiency of paddy cultivation in the West Garo Hills district of Meghalaya. The data were collected from 200 paddy growers covering 20 villages. This study will enable the paddy growers to determine the optimal level of inputs utilization and thereby help in enhancing the yield and income. As per the findings, the different existing inputs used in paddy cultivation were land (X1), seed (X2), fertilizer (X3), farmyard manure(X4), pesticide(X5), power tiller (X6), bullock labour (X7), labour (X8) and marketing cost (X9). The Cobb Douglas production function was used to test the efficiency of different production inputs. Hence the underutilized and the over-utilized inputs were determined using the production function analysis. The results reveals that technical efficiency or elasticity coefficient (Ep) shows a decreasing return to scale (Ep<1) of paddy productivity in all group size group of paddy growers in the study area.

Key Words

Resource use, Technical Efficiency, Cobb Douglas production function, Average physical product, Marginal physical product, Marginal value product, Marginal Factor cost , Profitability ratio , Efficiency gap and Divergence
