Promotion and supporting the adoption of land management and conservation technologies (LMCTs) among poor farming households has been considered to improve crop yields as well as production technical efficiency (TE). This article compares production efficiency between adopters and nonadopters of LMCTs in Tanzania. Using national panel data, the study applied stochastic frontier model to estimate the TE of adopters and nonadopters. The findings show that adopters of LMCTs had a relatively significantly higher TE (0.73) than their nonadopter counterparts (0.69). Therefore, promotion and supporting the adoption of LMCTs among smallholder farmers is pertinent for improving their TE as well as for increasing crop yield, thereby reducing encroachment into forest areas. There is also a need to understand how adopters and nonadopters of LMCTs are affected by different factors when designing the policies that promote the adoption of LMCTs among the smallholder farmers for sustainable increase of agricultural productivity and TE.

坦桑尼亚土地保护技术采用者和非采用者的小农农业生产效率

促进和支持在贫困农户中采用土地管理和保护技术 (LMCT) 被认为可以提高作物产量和生产技术效率 (TE)。本文比较了坦桑尼亚 LMCT 的采用者和非采用者之间的生产效率。该研究使用国家面板数据,应用随机前沿模型来估计采用者和非采用者的 TE。研究结果表明,LMCT 的采用者的 TE (0.73) 比非采用者的 TE (0.69) 高得多。因此,促进和支持小农采用 LMCT 与提高他们的 TE 以及增加作物产量相关,从而减少对林区的侵占。
