Abstract
The paper attempts to analyse the efficiency of tea gardens across Assam and West Bengal of India for the period of 2004-2013. The stochastic frontier approach has been applied to estimate the efficiency of large, medium and small tea gardens. Estimated results reveal that the proper training of the labourer, utilisation of the available land and modernisation of the machinery may increase the output of the tea gardens. The study concludes that there is intra-state, as well as inter-state variation in the efficiency of the tea gardens over time and no concrete relation, is found between garden size and efficiency.
