A Stochastic Frontier Approach to Technical Efficiency and Marketing of Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato (OFSP) at Farm Level
This paper examines the economic viability of orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) in North KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The main objectives of the paper were to quantify the technical efficiency and marketing opportunities of OFSP farmers. Primary data was randomly collected from 32 selected OFSP farmers, 15 hawkers and three food processors. The stochastic frontier production function was used to analyze the data. The results indicated that the m…
