The research findings showed that to attain a break-even point, farmers needed to consider strategies to augment yield by approximately 70 kilograms per rai. The evaluation of technical efficiency revealed a varied range of levels amongst farmers, spanning from 0.28 to 0.99, with an average of 0.32. These values indicated that farmers were only partially harnessing the potential of their production factors and the opportunity to enhance their overall production efficiency. In conclusion, the study advanced to understand rice production economics within the context of community enterprises. The insights gained from the analyses contributed to discussions surrounding optimal resource allocation, enhancing production efficiency, and identifying strategic interventions to improve the profitability and sustainability of rice production.

Technology adoption requires technical information to support decision-making and encourage broader acceptance. Recognizing the significance of alternate wetting and drying technology in sustainable agriculture, this study aims to promote the adoption of this technology among both Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and non-GAP farmers in Suburban, Bangkok, Thailand. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire, which gathered information on farmers' cost and return values, as well as their adoption opinions. The collected data were then analyzed using cost and return analysis, as well as stochastic frontier analysis. The results indicate that non-GAP farmers face significantly higher total costs due to increased fixed costs compared to GAP farmers. While there were no significant differences in yield between the two groups, GAP farmers achieved significantly higher total income and net profit due to lower total costs and higher selling prices. Furthermore, the analysis suggests that both groups of rice farmers have the potential to improve their efficiency levels, with non-GAP farmers showing a higher potential for improvement. In terms of adoption opinion, both farmer groups recognize the advantages of wet and dry farming technology over traditional flooded rice farming. This study highlights that the adoption levels of both GAP and non-GAP farmers can be significantly improved through the implementation of best management practices. Overall, the findings emphasize the importance of trustworthy information dissemination to encourage the adoption of wet and dry farming technology, as it enhances farmers' trust in the received information and their engagement with the technology. The study concludes by providing policy implications and recommendations to promote the wider adoption of wet and dry farming technology.

Technical efficiency of rice farmers under the large agricultural plot scheme in Khlong Khuean District, Chachoengsao Province, Thailand

This research aimed to discover the technical efficiency (TE) and factors influencing the TE of the Large Agricultural Plot Scheme Project (LAPS) in the Khlong Khuean District, in Chachoengsao Province, Thailand. The samples were 150 registered rice farmers separated into three groups by land size: 1) six farmers from small-sized farms (0-1 ha); 2) 33 farmers from medium-sized farms (1-2 ha); 3) 111 farmers from large-sized farms (more than 2 ha). Estimated TE was obtained by using a stochastic production frontier model, and the factors influencing the TE were obtained from multiple regression. The result revealed that small-sized farms gained highest TE score at 0.829. The education level of farmers was significant at 0.01% and showed a negative coefficient with the TE, because farmers continue to use traditional production methods. Knowledge sharing is a crucial tool to improve efficiency. To improve TE of rice farms, reducing farm inputs, such as seeds, fertiliser, and labour-intensive was recommended. In addition, this research revealed that farm size affects outputs, indicating that large farms were more technically efficient than smaller farms. Additionally, education level influenced TE. The LAPS was one of the policies supported by the government that aimed to increase farmers' outputs.

Background and Objective: Thai government launched a Large Agricultural Plot Scheme (LAPS) in 2005 in order to enhance the effectiveness of the extension programme. The objective of this research was to compare the technical efficiency (TE) of oil palm production and factors influencing the TE of oil palm production between member and non-member farmers under the LAPS in Bang Saphan Noi district, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, Thailand. Methodology: The data were collected from January-June, 2017 from 57 LAPS member farmers and 63 non-LAPS member farmers. This paper estimated technical inefficiency by using a stochastic production frontier model and Tobit regression to investigate the factors influencing the TE. Results: The results revealed that the TE of oil palm production of the LAPS member farmers was ranked 12-99%, whereas that of the non-LAPS member farmers was ranked 14-99%. The TE mean of LAPS member farmers was 0.63, while the TE mean of non-LAPS member farmers was 0.52. The years of experience on oil palm plantations and age were crucial factors that contributed to the TE of LAPS member farmers and TE of non-LAPS member farmers, respectively. Conclusion: The TE mean of LAPS member farmers was higher than that of non-LAPS member farmers knowledge and experience sharing between old and young generations who are eager to work in oil palm production should also be a concern.

Background and Objective: Generally, there are three different rice farming production systems: Farming under the agriculture network, conventional organic rice farming and chemical rice farming. This study estimated the technical efficiency (TE) of different production systems for rice farming in eastern Thailand. Materials and Methods: Chachoengsao and Prachinburi were selected as the study areas. Farm-level data were collected during the 2016-2017 production period from 150 respondents consisting of 58 organic farmers under the Alternative Agriculture Network (AAN), 42 conventional organic rice farmers and 50 chemical rice farmers. A stochastic frontier analysis was employed to analyze the survey data. Results: The results indicated that the technical efficiency scores for organic rice farmers under the AAN had the highest level of efficiency compared to conventional organic rice and chemical rice farmers. The average TE of the farmers under the AAN was approximately 0.733, ranging from 0.375-0.940, while the average TE of the conventional organic rice farmers was approximately 0.669, ranging from 0.103-0.948 and the average TE of the chemical rice farmers was approximately 0.688, ranging from 0.293-0.999. The results indicate that farmers should use high-quality seeds and organic fertilizer to improve the efficiency of organic rice. Conclusion: The findings indicated that the technical efficiency scores for organic rice farmers under the AAN had the highest level of efficiency comparing to conventional organic rice and chemical rice farmers.
