Popis: This paper aims to analyze technical efficiency, allocative efficiency, cost efficiency and scale efficiency of peanut farmers in Tra Vinh province. We surveyed 118 peanut farmers in Cau Ngang, Duyen Hai and Tra Cu districts using quota sampling. This study adopts the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in measuring household efficiencies. As a result, the average peanut yield of the interviewed farmers was 664.20 kg/1.000m2. Most fields have high technical and scale efficiencies. Mean technical efficiency of peanut farmers was 89.8 percent, allocative efficiency was 73.6 percent, cost efficiency was 65.9 percent and scale efficiency was 95.0 percent.
