Technical efficiency of starting versus established agricultural holdings

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Setting up of young farmers’ businesses is supported by agricultural policy, but it is suggested supporting starting farmers regardless the age because all of them face similar problems. The aim of the paper is to examine whether there are differences in technical efficiency between “new” and well-established farms. It is supposed that starting farmers are at the beginning less technically efficient and their support is justified.innovation. We considered farms established in 2013–2017 (82 observations) as starting, others were founded in 1995–2012 (2 099 observations). Stochastic frontier analysis was chosen to model the Cobb-Douglas production function. Production (sales) was explained by the consumption of material and energy, long-term assets and land. True fixed-effects model with half normal distribution of inefficiency term was used to calculate the technical efficiency. Differences between groups of farms were tested by Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Average technical efficiency was 85.27%, while established farms were efficient from 85.63% and starting farms from 76.14%. Test revealed that despite that starting farms seem less efficient, there were no statistically significant differences found. Support for starting farmers cannot be clearly justified by lower efficiency of new farmers, but by other issues that are targeted by agricultural policy.
