Abstract

This study examined the profitability and financial efficiency of small-scale indigenous chicken egg farmers. Farm-level data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and farm budget models. Results revealed that small-scale indigenous chicken egg enterprises were profitable, as indicated by the average net farm income and percentage profit measures. However, farmers were far from efficient in using financial resources, with the majority operating within the marginal efficiency levels. The cost structure indicated that feeds, day-old chicks, transportation, and water usage were the critical cost items accounting for more than 80% of the production cost.

肯尼亚小型本土鸡蛋生产商的盈利能力和财务效率
本研究考察了小规模本土蛋鸡养殖户的盈利能力和财务效率。使用描述性统计和农场预算模型分析农场层面的数据。结果显示,从平均农场净收入和利润百分比指标来看,小规模的本土鸡蛋企业是盈利的。然而,农民在利用财政资源方面远没有达到效率,大多数农民在边际效率水平内运作。成本结构表明,饲料、日龄雏鸡、运输和用水是关键成本项目,占生产成本的80%以上。
