Production efficiency of agro-forestry farms in silviculture system
|
INTRODUCTION
Farm economic efficiency is an important factor of productivity growth where resources are scarce and opportunities for developing and adopting better technologies have lately started declining. Agro-forestry and farm economies can benefit a great deal from inefficiency studies without increasing the resource base. The estimates and extent of inefficiencies can also help us to decide whether to improve the efficiency or to develop new technologies to raise agro-forestry pr...
