Abstract

Climate change has caused bad weathers, significantly impacted agricultural production. From agricultural restructuring to adapt to climate change, inefficient rice farm areas was changed into fruit farms. To improve the efficiency of production of mango “ba mau” (three colors), this study used Stochastic approach with Cobb-Douglass model to estimate the efficiency of the applied technology and determine factors that affected its production. The result indicated that 100% mango producers reached the efficiency in a range of 95 - 100%. Based on technical inefficiency function (TIE), this study determined three factors that affected technical efficiency of three colors mango, including applied science and technology (Z = - 0.050), technical qualification (Z = -0.023), years for harvest (Z = - 0.011).
Keywords: technical efficiency, stochastis frontier product, “ba mau” mango
