An assessment of farm efficiency and profitability of adopted and non-adopted farmers in Kymore plateau and Satpura hills region of Madhya Pradesh

Abstract

The efficiency of farm of KVK adopted and non-adopted farmers (Rewa District) was estimated with 90 samples by Using non-parametric approach Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). To find of the study revealed that in kharif season the technical efficiency (under VRS and CRS) was non-significant different, while In Rabi season the technical efficiency (under VRS) was significant different, but the technical efficiency (under CRS) was non-significant different. In both season the scale and allocative efficiency was not significantly different. In kharif season economic efficiency was non-significant, while in Rabi season economics efficiency was significant different of KVK adopted and non-adopted farm. It is observed from the farm profitability data that as the size of farms increases from small to large the farm income and input-output ratio decreases in cultivation of rice and wheat. Hence, small size of farmers used the available resources more economically as compared to medium and large farmers.
