Última Will Small-Scale Dairy Producers in Kenya Disappear Due to Economies of Scale in Production? AgEcon Omiti, John M.; Wanyoike, F.; Staal, Steven J.; Delgado, Christopher L.; Njoroge, L.. There is growing policy concern regarding the competitiveness of small-scale livestock production in the wake of the contemporary livestock revolution in many developing countries. In Kenya, this debate has focused on economies of scale and the undue influence of policy distortions on promoting the scaling up of dairy farms. This paper seeks to investigate economies of scale in Kenyan dairy in terms of relative profit efficiency at different levels of output, and identify policy and technology options to help small-scale farmers develop solutions to the challenges of competition. Data were collected from 204 dairy producers of different farm sizes in rural Kiambu and Thika, and urban Nairobi districts and a stochastic frontier model approach was used to...

Ano: 2006 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/25674 Relative Profitability of Dairy Farms in a High Feed Cost Environment AgEcon Herbst, Brian K.; Anderson, David P.; Outlaw, Joe L.; Richardson, James W.. This study will examine the competitive advantages that exist under current conditions. Representative dairies are used to simulate the financial impacts of the different feeding practices and compared to those a few years ago. The results indicate that the dairies the raise a majority of their feed saw a decrease in their cost to receipts ratio while dairies that purchase a majority of their feed saw an increase in their cost to receipt ratio.
