Study of the technical efficiency of the sweet chili (Capsicum chinense) in the producing regions of the Colombian Caribbean
Sweet pepper cultivation is one of the more important activities in the Caribbean region, cultivated by approximately 4,284 farmers with the family farming system, in areas ranging from 0.25 to 2.0 ha. In the literature for this region, there is no evidence of a study that has investigated the techn...

| description | Sweet pepper cultivation is one of the more important activities in the Caribbean region, cultivated by approximately 4,284 farmers with the family farming system, in areas ranging from 0.25 to 2.0 ha. In the literature for this region, there is no evidence of a study that has investigated the technical efficiency of this production system. For this reason, this study aimed to evaluate the technical efficiency of the use of resources by sweet chili farmers in the Caribbean producing areas of Colombia. The sample was 62 farmers, surveyed via simple random sampling from the use of statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture of Colombia. A Cobb Douglas-type functional model was formulated. The contribution of the variables seed, labor, fertilizer, weeds and yields in the productive units was determined. The results showed that labor and weed management had a positive effect on production increases. There was inefficiency with production gaps of 0.18% and efficiency of 82%; a production deficit of 1 t ha-1 was observed. There were returns on an increasing scale that was explained by the direct relationship between the inputs of labor and weed management. |

El cultivo del ají dulce es una de las hortalizas más importantes de la región Caribe, cultivada aproximadamente por 4.284 agricultores bajo el sistema de agricultura familiar en áreas que van desde 0,25 hasta 2,0 ha. En la literatura de esta región, no se evidencia un estudio que indague sobre la eficiencia técnica de este sistema de producción. Por esta razón, este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la eficiencia técnica del uso de los recursos por parte del agricultor de ají dulce en las zonas productoras del Caribe de Colombia. La muestra fueron 62 agricultores encuestados seleccionados mediante muestreo aleatorio simple a partir del uso de estadísticas del Ministerio de Agricultura de Colombia. Se formuló un modelo funcional tipo Cobb Douglas. Se determinó la contribución de las variables semilla, mano de obra, fertilizante, malezas y los rendimientos en las unidades productivas. Los resultados muestran que la mano de obra y manejo de malezas inciden positivamente en los aumentos de la producción. Se concluye hay presencia de ineficiencia con brechas de producción de 0,18% y la eficiencia de 82%, se genera un déficit de producción de 1 t ha-1. Hay presencia de rendimientos a escala creciente que se explica por la relación directa de los insumos mano de obra y manejo de malezas.
