Book Description
This book examines productivity of peasant sugarcane farmers of rural Malawi. Specifically stochastic frontier model is employed to estimate technical efficiency scores. Cobb-Douglas production function for sugar farmers at Kasinthula Cane Growers Association scheme are estimated using maximum log likelihood methods. The results suggest that on average farmers at this scheme are technically efficient with factors such as education, land size and experience having more importance in determining their efficiency.

Book Description
Sugarcane is a major crop grown at commercial level in Jigawa state, but farmers' productivity is low. Therefore the state government established the Millennium Village Commission (MVC) with the aim of improving the Technical efficiency of sugarcane farmers in Jigawa state. This study assessed how the MVC intervention has impacted on the participating farmers' Technical efficiency relative to non-participants. One hundred and twenty MVC and 160 non-MVC farmers, were sampled. Data was collected on farmers' socio-economic characteristics, inputs and cost structure, output and revenue based on a 5-year (2003-2007) production activities. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics, gross margin analysis and the stochastic frontier production function model at p= 0.05. The study showed that the MVC programme increased the economic benefit of the sugarcane farmers that participated, but not the farmers' technical efficiency. However, inefficiency can be reduced if rural education, participation in community based organisation and access to extension services can be facilitated among farmers.

Book Description
In a globally competitive environment where everything is commercialized, agriculture is no exception. The role that education of the effective head of the farm household, education of the family of the farm household and their experience plays, in addition to the primary inputs, in improving the profit efficiency of the farm household has been empirically tested for the primary data collected from 200 sugarcane farm households in Orissa. The results of the joint estimation of parameters of profit function and the inefficiency components suggest that 93% differences in the efficiency scores are due to profit inefficiency, and profit inefficiency reduces significantly with higher education. The mean efficiency is 79% and more than 80% of the farmers achieve 70-99% profit efficiency. A grassroots level farming practice awareness program both by government and private agencies as well as the reorientation of the formal education curriculum toward farm-oriented curriculum are highly recommended.

Book Description
Sugarcane is not only major industrial crop but also one of the economic pillar crops in Myanmar agriculture. Due to increased demand for local consumption and export oriented nature, it should be increased not only plantation area but also yield per unit area and recovery percentage.In Myanmar, state sector productions are target driven and private sector productions are profit-oriented on free market economy. But sugarcane based small holding farms of private sector faced many challenges. Yield of sugarcane production and cane quality is low and production cost is high due to high transportation and input cost and loan interest. The small-scale private sector operates with very low efficiency in sugar recovery, higher losses and inferior in quality. Increases in sugar production are influenced by improvements in the production technology of existing sugarcane lands, mills and new sugar processing facilities.So, there is a need for technology improvement and technical efficiency measurement. This book provides economic analysis and effective ways to improve the profitability and technical efficiency of small holder sugarcane farmers at different farm size and plant natur
