Regionalne zróżnicowanie efektywności ekonomicznej gospodarstw towarowych specjalizujących się w uprawach ogrodniczych

To analyze the effectiveness of farms a non-parametric method DEA and financial analysis was used. DEA allows to determine the effectiveness of objects based on multiple inputs and outputs. It does not require functional form of the frontier. The analysis covers commercial farms grouped into the type horticulture (FADN classification) and presented by region. To build the DEA input-orientated model, the following variables were used: output – total output crops and crop production (SE135), inputs – labour input (SE011), total specific costs (SE281), total farming overheads (SE336). To complete the analysis the financial indicators were calculated. The results indicate that the farms from region Mazowsze and Podlasie (795) were the most effective.
