This analysis reveals production risk and technical efficiency associated with internal and external inputs among cassava farmers, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.
Key Points
Both internal and external input users of cassava farming face significant inefficiencies in resource use.
Technical efficiency analysis indicated 46.5% inefficiency among internal input users compared to 78.9% inefficiency for external users.
Cassava farmers using internal inputs have more farming experience, while those using external inputs exhibit higher educational attainment.
Production risks and inefficiencies suggest the need for targeted interventions to improve resource allocation in cassava farming.
