Honduran agrarian reform cooperatives (HARCs) perform poorly as economic enterprises. HARCs' inefficiency is generally attributed to their collective mode of production and to internal mismanagement. In this study, a stochastic frontier production function is estimated with cross-sectional maize production data on over 400 individual producers and 28 HARCs. "Debreu-Farrell" efficiency estimates indicate that collective production is more technically and allocatively efficient than individual production.

520 $a Honduran agrarian reform cooperatives (HARCs) perform poorly as economic enterprises. HARCs' inefficiency is generally attributed to their collective mode of production and to internal mismanagement. In this study, a stochastic frontier production function is estimated with cross-sectional maize production data on over 400 individual producers and 28 HARCs. "Debreu-Farrell" efficiency estimates indicate that collective production is more technically and allocatively efficient than individual production.
520 $a Frontier estimates on individual bean production data show much higher allocative efficiencies than those of maize. Input requirements for maize are more varied and advanced than those of traditional bean production and require adjustments in input mixes. That farmers are not optimally adjusting input mixes is attributed to ineffective input distribution systems.
520 $a The most prominent single factor influencing HARC efficiency is commercialization. Group mean differences show that farmers who sell more of their output demonstrate higher technical and allocative efficiencies for both maize and beans. Commercialization is also a prominent factor in inducing farmers to adopt IPM technologies, as demonstrated by a bivariate logit regression.
520 $a Technical and allocative efficiencies are compared for a variety of human and social capital group means. Extension is shown to be a substitute for education at low levels of education in improving technical and allocative efficiency. However, at higher levels of education, different types of extension methods, such as publication circulation, appear to complement general education. Education, literacy, health and experience show positive influences on efficiency.
520 $a The greater efficiency of collective parcels suggests that the internal dynamics of the institutional "black box" of the firm are sound. However, transactions with support agencies are undependable as evidenced by ineffective distribution and marketing systems. Failure of implicit transaction contracts results from disparate incentives between HARC members and agency personnel.
520 $a Collaboration with the private sector, which shares HARCs' economic aspirations, offers a means to capitalize on the economies inherent in the cooperative structure and efficiencies spurred by commercialization. The few cooperatives which contracted private capital show that HARCs can evolve into cooperatives that produce high quality products and generate investment returns that significantly increase member income and achieve social goals.
