A fuzzy data envelopment analysis for assessing sustainability in potato farms of Kabodarahang village

The disparity in agricultural production unit performance is a critical and fundamental issue that necessitates the implementation of required programs and policies to ensure an equilibrium in the distribution of resources and seeds in order to increase efficiency. Enhancing efficiency can result in economic growth and development in the agricultural sector, as well as rural development. In recent years, the potato has been regarded as the dominant crop in Kabodarahang; policy formulation based on production efficiency has become a necessity, given the importance of production and the rational use of seeds in potato production. Thus, the efficiency, effectiveness, and productivity of production units were determined under uncertain conditions using various level-cut and fuzzy data envelopment analysis methods for potato farms in Kabodarahang; the most efficient units were selected. The result indicates that 14% of producers are efficient or near-efficient. Additionally, 75% of producers operate at a level of efficiency between 70% and 100%. In total, unit 6 is the most productive and stable of the other units. As a result, this unit is chosen as the best producer. Efficiency analysis at various levels reveals that producers operate at a high level of efficiency. Therefore, to increase production, manufacturing technology should be enhanced. Thus, politicians and policymakers should take into account new technologies for planting, growing, and harvesting.
