Özet
The province of Hatay, where the study was carried out, is in a strategic location in terms of its geographical location. It has advantages in terms of border trade both by port, sea and also by road. Therefore, it has the potential to meet both domestic and external demand. This study aims to measure the technical efficiency scores of broiler production farms located in Hatay province in southern Turkey. For this purpose, broiler farms operating in the province of Hatay were examined and data were collected from 19 broiler farms operating in the province using the Census method. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method, which is often preferred in measuring the efficiency of the data, was used. Measurements were made with the input-oriented approach under the assumptions of DEA-CRS (Constant Return to Scale) and DEA-VRS (Variable Return to Scale). The Tobit regression model was used to determine the causes of inefficiency after DEA scores were calculated. In the analysis, the technical efficiency score was calculated with DEA - CRS as 0.95; and with DEA - VRS as 0.97. It has been determined that the broiler farms examined can produce at the same output level by reducing the inputs used in the current production technology by 5% according to the DEA-CRS approach and 3% according to DEA-VRS approach. Among the socio-economic variables that are thought to affect efficiency scores; it has been determined that operators having 15 years or more of experience cause inefficiency. As a result, it can be said that broiler farms operating in the province of Hatay operate efficient both in terms of input use and economies of scale. While it is determined that inefficient broiler farms use their labour excessively, better organisation of the labour can be suggested as a measure for broiler farms to work full efficient.
