Measuring efficiency of rice growing farmers using data envelopment analysis

Self-sufficiency in rice production has been the main issue in Malaysia agriculture.It is significantly low and does not comply with the current average rice yield of 3.7 tons per ha per season.One of the best options and the most effective way to improve rice productivity is through more efficient...
