Abstract
In this comprehensive study, the efficiency of 300 Black Cardamom farms in the Hoang Su Phi district is assessed by using the Malmquist Index. The study also investigates the various factors influencing farm efficiency through the Tobit regression model. Structured interviews with farm proprietors in key communes—Ho Thau, Nam Ty, and Tung San—where Black Cardamom cultivation is concentrated, provide the data for this analysis. Preliminary findings reveal commendable efficiency levels in Black Cardamom farms in Ho Thau and Nam Ty, while those in Tung San face challenges, particularly in technological inefficiency. The study suggests that enhancing technological proficiency is crucial for farms in Tung San, and adjusting farm size strategically can significantly boost the efficiency of farms in Nam Ty, unlocking untapped potential. The Tobit regression model is employed to examine influential factors on farm efficiency. Notably, owners’ demographics play a crucial role, with older farm owners exhibiting more efficient operations. Higher levels of education and professional training also correlate positively with heightened farm efficiency. Experience in Black Cardamom cultivation contributes to efficiency, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning. Furthermore, exposure to information from diverse sources, such as television, radio, newspapers, and the Internet, positively affects farm efficiency, adding 0.023 points to the overall change. Conversely, challenges such as family poverty, unexpected setbacks, and increased distances to vital services negatively impact farm efficiency.
