Abstract
This study was aimed to determine technical and economic efficiency in beekeeping enterprises and to reveal the factors effecting the efficiency scores. The material of the current study consisted of the data obtained from 46 enterprises in Hatay province. Efficiency scores for technical and economical properties were determined with data envelopment analysis. The truncated regression model was used to determine the factors effecting the efficiency scores. The efficiency scores for technical and economical properties were calculated as 0.97 and 0.94, respectively. The results showed that ‘experience’, ‘race of bee’, ‘education level’ and ‘number of colony’ variables were found to be statistically significant factors on efficiency of technical properties. No significant factors were found on efficiency of economic properties. In conclusion, it was revealed what conditions should be had in terms of technical and economical properties to be performed an efficient beekeeping activity in Hatay province.
