Data envelopment analysis application in agricultural production efficiency analysis

Paper presents wheat production efficiency analysis based on data of five agricultural enterprises representing five growing regions of Slovakia. In the analysis a non-parametric method of Data Envelopment Analysis was applied. DEA is a tool which enables to evaluate relative efficiency of decision-making units on the basis of mutual comparison of all unit's input-to-output transformation. DEA solution provides unambiguous distinction of efficient and inefficient units.
