Total factor productivity growth in livestock production in Botswana: what is the role of scale and mix efficiency change in beef production?

Omphile Temoso et al.

Summary: It is well established that improving livestock productivity has the potential to boost food security, income, and employment for rural communities. This study specifically analyses the TFP growth of 26 beef cattle producing districts in Botswana using the Fare-Primont index. Results show that livestock TFP increased during the study period, and that this was driven by technological change.

Characterization of production systems and management practices of the cattle population in Zambia

Idowu Kolawole Odubote

Summary: This study analyzes the cattle population, production systems, and management practices in Zambia using data from the livestock and aquaculture census conducted in 2017/2018. Traditional systems and free range grazing dominate the production system and feeding practices. However, poor integration between crop and fodder production and cattle production leads to inadequate nutrition and productivity. The study also reveals diverse cattle genetic resources and high disease prevalence.

Farming efficiency, cropland rental market and income effect: evidence from panel data for rural Central Vietnam

Trung Thanh Nguyen et al.

Summary: The study indicates that land rental markets can improve agricultural efficiency, but the poor do not significantly benefit from them. Therefore, attention needs to be paid to the poor to ensure they are not left behind. Further analysis could focus on efficiency thresholds for farmers transitioning between different market regimes.

The impact of climate change coping and adaptation strategies on livestock farmers' technical efficiency: the case of rural Ghana

Martinson Ankrah Twumasi et al.

Summary: The study reveals that goat farmers in Ghana generally have low production efficiency, and CCCAs have a positive impact on improving efficiency, especially for female farmers. However, the impact of CCCAs on goat farmers varies among different groups.

Latent Class Modelling for a Robust Assessment of Productivity: Application to French Grazing Livestock Farms

K. Herve Dakpo et al.

Summary: The study extended the latent class stochastic frontier model to compute productivity change in different types of grazing livestock farms in France from 2002 to 2016. Results indicate that productivity change and its components vary across farms, depending on farm type.

Technical Efficiency and Technological Gaps of Rice Production in Anambra State, Nigeria

Chukwujekwu A. Obianefo et al.

Summary: The study shows that rice producers in the lowland regions of Anambra State, Nigeria, are on average more technically efficient and have higher technological gap ratios compared to their upland counterparts. Both groups of farmers do not fully utilize advanced technologies to match the industry's potential.
