The technical efficiency of specialised milk farms ? a regional view

Original language description

The aim of the article is to evaluate production efficiency and its determinants of specialised dairy farming among the EU regions. The specialised dairy farms do not represent a significant share of the agricultural output of the Czech Republic, thoughin other European regions there is a relatively high significance of small specialised farms including dairy farms. This raises questions about the determinants of its production efficiency. The DEAVRS method (Data Envelopment Analysis with Variable Returns to Scale) reveals efficient and inefficient regions including the scale efficiency. In the next step, the two-sample t-test determines differences of economic and structural indicators between efficient and inefficient regions. The research reveals that substitution of labour by capital/contract work explains the variability of the Farm Net Value Added per AWU (Annual Work Unit) income indicator by more than 30 %. The significant economic determinants of production efficiency in spec
