Czech Pig Farming Sector after the Entrance to the European Union
Original language description
Abstract: The pig farming sector was one of the most heavily affected agricultural production after the entrance to the European Union. Czech producers failed to compete on the EU market as the imports and negative foreign trade balance increased. Besides, the total number of sows which represents the production capacity has been decreasing since the entrance. Because the performance of the firms in relation to other firms on the pig production market is linked to the productivity, the aim of the paper is to analyse the productivity, technical and efficiency change of the companies in the sector. Using Malmquist productivity index, we decompose the total factor productivity change on technical change and efficiency change. Results show that the technology change in time was negative as same as the total factor productivity change. There was not a frontier shift due to innovations in the sector. However, an improvement in technical efficiency by 2.13% was noted. TPF decline can explain the fact, that Czech pig farms are still not competitive on the EU market.
