Assessment of performance of smallholder dairy farms in Kenya
An econometric approach
The aim of the study was to estimate the technical and cost efficiencies of smallholder dairy farms in Kenya (Embu and Meru counties).The results indicated that optimization of farm efficiencies could increase milk yields while concurrently lowering its production cost. The study further provides evidence that any efforts towards reducing land sub-division and promotion of enterprise specialization could increase milk affordability. Key words: smallholder dairy, cost and technical efficiency, function coefficient
