충북지역 고추 선도농가의 생산 효율성 분석

(An Analysis on the Production Efficiency of Leading Farms of Red Pepper in Chungbuk Province)

This study analyzed efficiency of leading red pepper farms in Chungbuk area and compared with ordinary red pepper producers in Chungbuk area and in other producers in Korea hoping that the leading farms be reference as in a benchmarking strategy. The analysis of efficiency of the three groups showed the several results; 1) the pure technology efficiency(PTE) of the leading farms were the highest, 2) regardless of groups, the reason of inefficiency were more likely in the scale than in the PTE, 3) the specific inefficient categories of production cost were large scale machinery and equipment cost, 4) the Bootstrap DEA was conducted to estimate stochastic efficiency and its significance interval of 95%. The leading farms in Chungbuk area showed highest efficiency in the Bootstrap DEA showing that they can be statistically reference group for benchmarking.
