Mozambique has prioritized soybean within its agricultural strategy, yet smallholder yields remain far below attainable levels and the share of that shortfall attributable to inefficient use of existing inputs has not been quantified. This study estimates farm-level technical efficiency (TE) and its determinants for 92...
This study evaluates the technical efficiency of pig production in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Thailand, using a copula-based stochastic frontier framework that relaxes the conventional assumption of independence between stochastic noise and technical inefficiency. Farm-level data from 280 pig-farming households were...

This study examines how family farm development is associated with farmers’ income using prefecture-level panel data from China spanning 2013 to 2024. We employ a two-way fixed-effects framework with standard errors clustered at the prefecture-level city, and measure regional agricultural technical efficiency using dat...

This study examines regional correlates of real agricultural output in Kazakhstan using a harmonized panel of 14 agricultural regional units observed from 2016 to 2025. To distinguish production-volume changes from nominal price movements, the main dependent variable is a chain-linked measure of real agricultural outpu...

In developing countries where agriculture sustains rural livelihoods, advancing sustainable development and poverty reduction requires a better understanding of the drivers of agricultural productivity growth to promote inclusive growth and strengthen food security. This paper investigates the main constraints to agr...
