2023-11-13T10:27:52+07:00

The aim of this study is to evaluate the technical efficiency of the four regional fisheries cooperatives, comprising a total of 55 cooperatives distributed across various geographical regions in Thailand. Specifically, the analysis encompasses three cooperatives in the northern region, twelve in the northeastern region, thirty-one in the central region, and ten in the southern region. Financial data from the fiscal year 2022 were employed for examination, focusing on input factors such as operational expenditures, deposit reserves, and equity, as well as output factors such as profitability and membership counts. The findings indicate that fisheries cooperatives in the southern region demonstrate notably higher levels of technical efficiency compared to their counterparts in other regions. This observation is discerned through analyses utilizing both constant returns to scale and variable returns to scale models, resulting in efficiency percentages of 50 and 60, respectively. Conversely, the fisheries cooperatives in the central region had the lowest technical efficiency, with percentages of 32.25 and 38.70 respectively. Furthermore, the study identifies a subgroup of 20 fisheries cooperatives demonstrating efficiency in terms of their size, representing 35.71 percent of the sample group. These findings highlight the potential for enhancing technical efficiency within Thailand's fisheries cooperatives through targeted improvements in input factors.
