TOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITY CHANGE IN THE CZECH POULTRY SECTOR
Original language description
The poultry sector experienced an important change in technology in 2012 when certain type of battery cages was banned. The increased investments to new technologies might have influenced the performance of the farms. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to assess the changes in total factor productivity (Delta TFP), technology (Delta TECH) and efficiency (Delta TE) of the poultry farms in the Czech Republic during years 2007-2013. Malmquist index was used to construct input oriented frontier and to assess the change in total factor productivity. It was further decomposed to technical and efficiency change. The results show that TFP and TE were negatively affected by the financial crisis in years 2008-2009. However, there is a difference between those two. While the changes in TE were negative until 2009, the Delta TFP was between years 2007-2008 positive. Overall efficiency (under constant returns to scale) of farms was on average at 81.58% level. Pure technical efficiency (under variable returns to scale) amounted on average to 91.46%. The technological progress is desirable, but the Delta TECH in 2009-2010 implies the downward shift of the technology frontier. It might be due to the requirements on breeding technology required since 1st January 2012.
