Abstract
ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study is to analyze the technical efficienc y and its determinants for Korean Apiculture farming by usin g from door to door and e-mail inquiry data. The analysis was imp lemented through the Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier production function (SFPF) model including the technical ineffi ciency effect model for cross-sectional data. To measure the SFPF model, honey production was used for a dependent variable, and for input variables labor cost, preventive cost, material cost, feeding cost, depreciation cost were used. Farmer's age, farmer's career, farming scale, full-time or half-time firm and movement or fixed firm variables were used to measure the ineff iciency effect model. The average technical efficiency on apiculture farming in Korea is estimated to be 0.8112. It means that there were technical inefficiency of about 18.88% in Korea apiculture farming. In this study there are some suggestions wh ich could increase the technical efficiency of Korean a piculture farming.Key words:Technical efficiency, Stochastic frontier production function, Korean apiculture farming
