Resource use efficiency in rubber estates: a methodological note
A barrier to the successful use of formal production function / regression techniques to analyse latex production problems in rubber estates is the difficulty in standardising data from different tapping systems. It is proposed in this paper that this problem can be overcome by using the "total...

| description | A barrier to the successful use of formal production function / regression techniques to analyse latex production problems in rubber estates is the difficulty in standardising data from different tapping systems. It is proposed in this paper that this problem can be overcome by using the "total surface area of the tapping cut" as the standardisation variable. We advance various arguments to show the merits in this proposal. |
