Return to Scale and Resource Use Efficiency in Fish Production in Tripura
(Society of Fisheries Technologists (India)Cochin, 2016) Das, Apu; Kumar, Nalini Ranjan; Sharma, Rama; Biswas, Pradyut
The study has examined resource productivity, return to scale of production and resource use efficiency of fish farming. Several factors like stocking of fish seed, application of manure, application of lime and expenditure on health management are determinants of fish production in the study area. As per the findings of MVP/MFC ratio, it can be inferred that the quantity of certain inputs viz., application of lime, use of manure and expenditure on fish health management need to be increased and some other resources i.e. the stocking of fish seed have to be reduced in order to achieve optimum output. It means strategic resource adjustment measures have to be taken care of in the farms of study area to arrive at optimum input-output combination. Lastly, the decreasing return to scale implies that there is an urgent need of use of resources at optimum levels to have higher fish production to make the state self-sufficient in fish production by vibrant utilization of the resources and effective productivity management strategies.
