Resumo: The objective of this study was to measure the technical and scale efficiencies of milk-producing farms in the state of Minas Gerais, considering different production levels, and also to identify the determining factors of their technical efficiency. The analyses were carried out using both Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and an econometric Tobit model. The data consisted of information collected in 2005 relating to 771 milk-producing farms. The results indicated that most of the farms exhibit technical inefficiency problems. Small farmers have the potential to expand their production and productivity, increasing technical efficiency, since they were performing with increasing returns to scale. The large farmers presented the best measures of technical efficiency, which is explained, partly, by factors such as access to rural credit, training and technical support.

Utilizaram-se como modelos analíticos a Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA) e um modelo econométrico Tobit e, como base de dados, informações de 771 propriedades produtoras de leite. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que a maior parte das propriedades apresenta ineficiência técnica. Os pequenos produtores têm potencial para expandir suas produções e produtividades, aumentando a eficiência técnica, visto que estão operando com retornos crescentes a escala. Os grandes produtores foram os que apresentaram as melhores medidas de eficiência técnica, explicada, em parte, pela presença de fatores como acesso ao crédito rural, treinamento e assistência técnica.Universidade de São Paulo, FEA-RP/USP2008-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoa/article/view/98210.1590/S1413-80502008000200007Economia Aplicada; Vol. 12 No. 2 (2008); 321-335Economia Aplicada; Vol. 12 Núm. 2 (2008); 321-335Economia Aplicada; v. 12 n. 2 (2008); 321-3351980-53301413-8050reponame:Economia Aplicadainstname:Universidade de São Paulo (USP)instacron:USPenghttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoa/article/view/982/994Copyright (c) 2015 Economia Aplicadainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGonçalves, Rosiane Maria LimaVieira, Wilson da CruzLima, João Eustáquio deGomes, Sebastião Teixeira2012-04-24T18:17:03Zoai:revistas.usp.br:article/982Revistahttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoaPUBhttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoa/oai||revecap@usp.br1980-53301413-8050opendoar:2023-09-13T12:16:52.431520Economia Aplicada - Universidade de São Paulo (USP)false
