    • Abstract:
      The objective of this study was to measure the technical efficiency of 228 plots of coffee from the regions of the Brazilian Savannas (Cerrado) and South of Minas Gerais and to identify the determining factors of that efficiency, considering irrigated and non-irrigated crops. The analyses were carried out using both Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and an econometric Tobit model. The results show that most of the coffee crops present technical inefficiency and among the most inefficient are the non-irrigated crops. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

      Este trabalho teve como objetivo mensurar a eficiência técnica de 228 talhões de café das regiões do Cerrado e Sul de Minas Gerais e identificar seus principais determinantes, considerando-se lavouras irrigadas e não-irrigadas. Para mensurar a eficiência, utilizou-se a Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA) e, para investigar seus determinantes, empregou-se um modelo Tobit. Os resultados obtidos mostram que a maioria das lavouras cafeeiras da amostra analisada apresenta ineficiência técnica, com destaque para as não-irrigadas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
