| Abstract: | To construct agri-environmental efficiency indicators for organic production systems it is required to connect environmental measures with net income based profitability measures. This article uses stochastic production frontier model where farm decision about employing organic soil-improving inputs are taken account to evaluate efficiency. The findings demonstrate that on-farm self-sufficiency in soil-improving inputs is positively related to farm-level efficiency. |
