An Assessment of Economic Sustainability and Efficiency in Small-Scale Broiler Farms in Limpopo Province: A Review

An important factor in determining the success of a small-scale broiler farm is its economic viability and efficiency. During times trouble for industry, idea receives more attention. The conceptual considerations sustainability efficiency are frequently quite constrained, according to difficulties raised this study by other authors. There lack information about South Africa’s production’s effectiveness. Furthermore, it clear that producers have ability increase their By reducing mortality rate, feed conversion production duration, both technical financial could be improved. Profitability broilers will considerably increased lowering cost these variable inputs, particularly day-old chicks. Additionally, raising education level, capacity utilization ratio, would all contribute farms’ levels. To ensure effective resource use maximize practicable profit, who not operating close profit frontier must make efforts reduce allocation inefficiencies. Collectively, measures farmers Africa met. Moreover, can achieved if strategies build local empower them sustain high levels productivity provided. In addition, efficient resources enhanced, might profitability. It therefore achieve maximum given set inputs. Approaches assessing farm-level profitability such as cost-benefit gross margin analyses used.
