Abstract
The level of technical efficiency of the inshore fishermen in Kuala Terengganu was determined. A survey was conducted between June and August 2007 where 100 fishermen in 14 villages were chosen by stratified random sampling. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) was employed to determine the technical efficiency level among the fishermen. Results of the study showed that most fishing unit exhibited a low degree of technical efficiency. This implies that either fishing inputs were used inefficiently or insufficient inputs were used in fishery activities. The mean technical efficiency for the sample was estimated at 55 for the peak season and 40 for the non-peak season. About 37 and 62 of the fishermen had less than 40 level of technical efficiency in peak season and non-peak season respectively. These findings suggest that there is much room for improvement in efficiency among a large segment of the inshore fishermen in Kuala Terengganu.
