초록

The purpose of this study is to analyze the economies of scale in fruit production(apples, pears, peaches, and field-cultivated grapes). The raw data of the Rural Development Administration's agricultural income survey from 2015 to 2021 were used. The translog cost function and the share equation of the production factors were estimated simultaneously using seemingly unrelated regression. The results show that the optimal production scales were 9.81 ha for apples, 11.91 ha for pears, 11.14 ha for peaches, and 3.99 ha for field-cultivated grapes, respectively. The results also indicated that the cost elasticities on average areas were 0.354 for apples, 0.293 for pears, 0.261 for peaches, and 0.312 for field-cultivated grapes, respectively. Additionally, the cost elasticities on specialized fruit farms were 0.295 for apples, 0.230 for pears, 0.179 for peaches, 0.119 for field-cultivated grapes, respectively. The results of this study are expected to provide useful information for policies aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of fruit production, such as establishing standards for full-time fruit farms.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the economies of scale in fruit production(apples, pears, peaches, and field-cultivated grapes). The raw data of the Rural Development Administration's agricultural income survey from 2015 to 2021 were used. The translog cost function and the share equation of the production factors were estimated simultaneously using seemingly unrelated regression. The results show that the optimal production scales were 9.81 ha for apples, 11.91 ha for pears, 11.14 ha for peaches, and 3.99 ha for field-cultivated grapes, respectively. The results also indicated that the cost elasticities on average areas were 0.354 for apples, 0.293 for pears, 0.261 for peaches, and 0.312 for field-cultivated grapes, respectively. Additionally, the cost elasticities on specialized fruit farms were 0.295 for apples, 0.230 for pears, 0.179 for peaches, 0.119 for field-cultivated grapes, respectively.
