Introduction
Productivity measures the ability of producers to convert inputs into outputs. Productivity
growth occurs when more output can be produced with the same level of inputs, the same output can
be produced using less inputs, or a combination of the two. In general, productivity growth is linked to
competitiveness, economic growth and improved welfare. In particular, in a context of rapid global
population growth and economic expansion, coupled with increased environmental concerns and an
increasingly more limited ability to incorporate more acres into agricultural production; agricultural
productivity growth is one of the most important factors that will determine food availability and the
global ability to fight hunger among other issues. Productivity is closely linked to farm profitability,
which at the regional level has significant economic development implications. Productivity and
efficiency are closely related because improvements in efficiency result, necessarily, in improvements
in productivity. However, productivity may also improve “inefficiently'' due to technical progress.
The study conducted by Quintana‐Ashwell and Featherstone measures productivity growth
among KFMA members between the years 1993 and 2011 and analyzes to what extent the changes in
productivity are due to improvements in (operation) efficiency or due to technical progress.
Data and Methods
