Abstract
The objective of this study is to define a conceptual framework for measuring the Global Economic Performance (GEP) of farms. After a literature review of GEP measurement methods and indicators, we have specified a composite indicator for this purpose. It is called Global Economic Performance Indicator (GEPI). It consists of one group of positive indicators and another of negative indicators. Each group is the reduced centered average of the indicators that make it up. GEPI was applied to 262 randomly selected maize growers of Burkina Faso grouped into 'production systems', 'farm sizes' and 'provinces'. The results show that the large farms, the motorized producers and those of Tuy are generally the most powerful of their respective group. In addition, large farms are overall the best performers of all categories of producers with a score of 0.59.
