description The objective was to analyze the technical efficiency of yam cultivation in producing areas of the Caribbean Region. The data were obtained through 98 structured surveys applied to experienced farmers, which included socioeconomic information such as: age, schooling, size of the cultivated area, physical crop yields, and production destination. The sampling technique was simple and applied at random. The data were analyzed in the SPSS program, and techniques such as descriptive statistics and measures of central tendency were used. Likewise, a Cobb-Douglas type econometric model was designed that allowed formulation of a production function and estimation of the parameter values. The results showed that the production efficiency was low because of underutilization of some factors, such as labor, which is 78 wages on average, excessive for the cultivation of one hectare of yams; in addition, fertilizers are used without a soil analysis and without considering the nutritional requirements of the crop. The seed is an important factor that contributes to increases in production with a coefficient of 0.033881, so, if its quality is improved, efficiency can be increased. Experience and schooling contributed the most to the efficiency of the yam cultivation. Farmers can increase productivity with a better use of resources.

Los datos se obtuvieron mediante 98 encuestas estructuradas aplicadas a los agricultores con experiencia las cuales incluyeron información socioeconómica como: edad, escolaridad, tamaño del área cultivada, rendimientos físicos del cultivo y destino de la producción. La técnica de muestreo fue aleatorio simple aplicado al azar. Los datos fueron analizados en el programa SPSS y se utilizaron técnicas como estadísticas descriptivas y medidas de tendencia central. Igualmente se diseñó un modelo econométrico tipo Cobb-Douglas que permito formular una función de producción y estimar el valor de los parámetros. Los resultados muestran que la eficiencia en la producción es baja debido a que subutilizan algunos factores como la mano de obra la cual es de 78 jornales en promedio que resultan excesivos para cultivar una hectárea de ñame; además, usan fertilizante sin análisis de suelos y sin tener en cuenta los requerimientos nutricionales del cultivo, la semilla como factor importante contribuye al aumento de la producción con un coeficiente de 0,033881 que significa que si se mejora su calidad se puede aumentar la eficiencia. La experiencia y la escolaridad son los elementos que más contribuyen con la eficiencia del cultivo del ñame. Se concluye que los agricultores pueden aumentar su productividad con un mejor uso de los recursos.application/pdfengengSociedad Colombiana de Ciencias Hortícolas-SCCH and Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia-UPTChttps://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/ciencias_horticolas/article/view/12445/10536Copyright (c) 2021 Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Hortícolashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf496http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Hortícolas; Vol. 15 No. 2 (2021); e12445Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Hortícolas; Vol. 15 Núm. 2 (2021); e12445Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Hortícolas; Vol. 15 No 2 (2021); e12445Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Hortícolas; V. 15 N. 2 (2021); e12445Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Hortícolas; v. 15 n. 2 (2021); e124452422-37192011-2173Tropicales root vegetablesProduction functionWorkforceSmallholder farmersOrdinary least square regressionVegetable rootHortalizas de raíz tropicalesFunción de producciónFuerza laboralPequeños productoresRegresión de mínimos cuadrados ordinariosHortalizas de hortalizasAnalysis of the technical efficiency of yam cultivation (Dioscorea spp.) in the Caribbean Region of ColombiaAnálisis de la eficiencia técnica del cultivo de ñame (Dioscorea spp.) en la Región Caribe de ColombiaTextTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6995http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a579http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Colombia; Cordoba; CereteColombia; Cordoba; CereteMartínez-Reina, Antonio MaríaTordecilla-Zumaqué, LilibetGrandett-Martínez, Liliana MaríaRegino-Hernández, Sol MaraLuna-Castellanos, Lily LorenaPérez-Cantero, Shirley Patricia001/16962oai:repositorio.uptc.edu.co:001/169622025-07-18 11:49:26.392https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/metadata.onlyhttps://repositorio.uptc.edu.coRepositorio Institucional UPTCrepositorio.uptc@uptc.edu.co
