Abstract
The study constructs a balanced panel data set on 300 Tam Hoa plum farms in Bac Ha district, Lao Cai province in Vietnam during 2015-2017 and uses the Malmquist indices to examine the efficiency of the farms. The results show that the farms are efficiently operating during the study period. However, the decomposition of the Malmquist indices also indicates that the overall performance of the farms could have been increased by improving their scale. Results from Tobit regressions (bootstrapping, 2,000 replications) show that the number of dependants and the householder’s experience in growing plum significantly affect the efficiency of the farms.
Keywords: Efficiency, DEA, Tobit, Malmquist indices, Tam Hoa plum, households, Vietnam.
