Abstract

The study specifically investigated farm size efficiency differentials of bio-fortified cassava production in Nigeria. Data were collected through a cross-sectional survey of bio-fortified cassava producers in Nigeria. The estimated coefficients of the parameters of production variables for small scale bio-fortified cassava farm size (land, herbicide and fertilizer) played a major role in bio-fortified cassava production on a small scale in Nigeria. For the medium and large scale bio-fortified cassava farm size, production variables (land, labor and fertilizer) and (land, labor, herbicide and fertilizer) respectively played a major role in bio-fortified cassava production. The average economic efficiency of the small, medium and large scale bio-fortified cassava producers was 42%, 54% and 63% respectively. Policies intended to increase the popularization and cultivation of bio-fortified cassava in Nigeria should be targeted toward the small and medium scale cassava farmers since they carried the majority of the producer of bio-fortified cassava in Nigeria.

尼日利亚生物强化木薯生产的农场规模效率差异:随机前沿分析方法

该研究专门调查了尼日利亚生物强化木薯生产的农场规模和效率差异。数据是通过对尼日利亚生物强化木薯生产者的横断面调查收集的。小规模生物强化木薯农场规模(土地、除草剂和肥料)生产变量参数的估计系数在尼日利亚小规模生物强化木薯生产中发挥了主要作用。对于中大型生物强化木薯农场规模，生产变量(土地、劳动力和肥料)和(土地、劳动力、除草剂和肥料)分别对生物强化木薯生产起主要作用。小型、中型和大型生物强化木薯生产者的平均经济效益分别为42%、54%和63%。旨在加强尼日利亚生物强化木薯的推广和种植的政策应以中小型木薯农民为目标，因为他们是尼日利亚生物强化木薯的主要生产者。
