Abstract
The
study estimated the total factor productivity (TFP) of dairy farms and its
determinants in the eastern region of India. The results suggested that the
overall total factor productivity of dairy farms in the region was 0.1697, and
degree of variability existed which could be reduced if the farmers adopt
better management practices. The frequency distribution of dairy households by
TFP value was positively skewed such that 97 per cent of the farms had TFP less
than 0.30. Among all the factors included in the model, herd size, composition,
and C-P ratio significantly impacted TFP. Thus, TFP influenced by economies of
scale, was technology, and management practices.
