- Abstract
The milk production chain in Brazil is extremely important; however, find the best way to use the available inputs it becomes a challenge for producers. It should be noted that Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been extensively used to support management in estimating the relative performance of similar productive units among themselves. It was aimed to evaluate the technical efficiency of 15 milk producing properties belonging to the microregion of Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul state, by means of the DEA method. In the variable scale model, 20% of the DMU's presented efficiency and 80% inefficiencies, presenting increasing returns to scale. In the Tobit model, the most significant variables were technical assistance, genetic improvement and food supplementation. It is concluded that this tool serves as a support to producers who have an interest in investing and boost the results of the dairy activity, which in addition to generating commercial gains, also fulfills the social role.
