| Freshwater aquaculture is an important and promising sector of the economy of Tripura State. The biophysical potential for growth in freshwater aquaculture in the state is still far from exhaustion and a faster development is required to meet the growth in demand for fish. This paper has assessed the level of technical efficiency and its determinants of small-scale fish production in the West Tripura district of the state of Tripura, India. The study is based on the cross-sectional primary data collected from 101 fish farmers through a multi-stage random sampling method. The paper has employed stochastic production frontier approach, and has followed both one-stage and two-stage procedures to analyze the determinants of TE. The TE ranges between 0.21 and... |

| The extent of income inequality, contribution of alternative income sources to inequality as well as their relative and marginal effects with special reference to fish production in the West Tripura district of Tripura state have been examined for the year 2003-04. The data have been collected from 60 fish-farming households in three selected blocks by multi-stage random sampling method. The Gini has been decomposed by income sources using the approach of Lerman and Yitzhaki, which views each source’s contribution to inequality as the product of its own inequality, its share of total income, and its correlation with the rank of cumulative total income. The study has indicated that to make the family income distribution more equitable among the fish-farming... |

| The risk arises from inadequate knowledge about best practice techniques (technical risk) and markets/prices (allocative risk). On the basis of this assumption, the economic inefficiency has been decomposed into inefficiencies due to technical and allocative risks. The study, conducted during 2004-05, is based on the primary cross-sectional data collected from six villages from three rural development blocks of South Tripura district in the Tripura state of India, with 239 farms as the sample. More than 96 per cent of the difference between observed and frontier output has been found primarily due to factors which are under the control of farms, i.e. due to technical inefficiencies. The mean economic efficiency under risk has been estimated at the level of... |
