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.
