  • Description: The primary purpose of this study was to analyze the efficiency level of tea farms operated by owners and shareholders, and to explore the effect of different decisional, structural and management factors on efficiency. The data were collected from a stratified sample of 138 tea farmers operated in Rize province Turkey in 2017. The data envelopment analysis (DEA) program was used to estimate the efficiency scores. Tobit model was used to explore determinants of technical efficiency. Results disclosed that farmers can reduce their inputs use by 43% without compromising their yield level. However, they have low economic efficiency (0.41). Shareholder- operated farms were highly efficient (0.76) than the owner-operated farms. The factors such as old tea parcels, high land slope, and altitude were having a significant negative effect on farms' efficiency. Applying fertilizer in the root zone or mixed with soil, terracing of farmland, and performing of soil test was positively and significantly contributing to efficiency. Generally, the efficiency of tea farmers is low, and mostly farm management and structure related factors were negatively affecting the farmer's efficiency. The farmers should be aware of associated benefits with early replanting tea, fertilizer application in the root zone and terracing to control their production cost. Key words: tea farming, technical efficiency, economic efficiency, owners, shareholders. O estudo analisa o nivel de eficiencia de dois sistemas agricolas diferentes, tais como proprietarios e fazendas de cha operadas por acionistas, bem como explorar o efeito de diferentes fatores de decisao, estruturais e de gestao na eficiencia. Total de 138 produtores de cha foram selecionados atraves do procedimento de amostragem estratificada na provincia de Rize. Os resultados revelaram que os agricultores podem reduzir o uso de insumos em 43% sem comprometer seu nivel de producao. No entanto, eles tem baixa eficiencia economica (0,41). As fazendas operadas pelos acionistas eram altamente eficientes (0,76) do que as fazendas operadas pelos proprietarios. Os fatores como antigas parcelas de cha, alta inclinacao de terra e altitude estavam tendo um efeito negativo significativo sobre a eficiencia das fazendas. A aplicacao de fertilizantes na zona das raizes ou misturados com o solo, o terraceamento de terras agricolas e a realizacao de testes de solo contribuiram de forma positiva e significativa para a eficiencia. Geralmente, a eficiencia dos produtores de cha e baixa, e principalmente os fatores relacionados a gestao e estrutura da fazenda afetavam negativamente a eficiencia do agricultor. Os agricultores devem estar cientes dos beneficios associados ao replantio precoce do cha, aplicacao de fertilizantes na zona de raizes, terracos para controlar seu custo de producao. Palavras-chave: cultivo de chas, eficiencia tecnica, eficiencia economica, proprietarios, acionistas.
