Resumo: Analyzes the technical efficiency and economic profitability of commercial dairy farmers from Ceara State. The stochastic frontier production methodology was used to estimate milk producersâ technical efficiency. As primary conclusion, the study observed a high rate of mean technical efficiency in the set of companies, about 80%, which points, however, to a relevant space to the unitiesâ efficiency growth, especially considering the efficiency rates dispersion. As it regards to the variables used to define the production frontier, all of them were statistically significant, and the expense with labor was the variable that presented the main contribution to the production growth. Among variables used to explain technical inefficiency, all resulted significant, and the genetic group of the herd was the one that presented the main participation at decreasing inefficiency. After the estimative of each companyâs efficiency, the present research analyzed the behavior of some technical indicators of productivity and economic profitability. It found that as the technical efficiency of the unities increased the indexes of productivity also improved, as well as a reduction of operational expenses and an elevation of profit margins. Finally, the research focused the important correlation between the efficiency level and the volume produced, suggesting a scale effect on milk production.

ApÃs a estimativa da eficiÃncia de cada firma, estudou-se o comportamento de alguns indicadores tÃcnicos de produtividade e de rentabilidade econÃmica, percebeu-se que, à medida que crescia a eficiÃncia tÃcnica das unidades, observava-se tambÃm melhora nos Ãndices de produtividade, uma reduÃÃo dos custos operacionais e elevaÃÃo das margens de rentabilidade.
