In-Depth Information
No correlation was found with ware potato, while a negative rank
correlation was found with TE for sugar beet. Interesting is whether a
technically efficient production practice coincides with a higher income.
Since there are differences in total cropping plan this is analysed on crop
level by looking at the rank correlation between TE and the gross margin
of the specific crop. Table 2.3 shows significant positive rank correlations
except the rank correlation with ware potato which was not significant.
These positive correlations imply that for this sample of farmers a more
technically efficient production practice coincides with a higher income
indeed.
4.3 Strategic management related to technical efficiency
The rank correlations between the elements of strategic management and
TE are presented in Table 2.4. None of these correlations were significant
at the critical 5% level. The results show that for the TE of potato and
