Book Description
The primary aim of this paper to assess the output loss due to inefficient management of Sugar industry in Sudan. An industrial firm is scale inefficient if there is under utilization of production inputs. In this paper we employed nonparametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to estimate scale efficiency of the major sugar producers in Sudan: Kenana sugar company and Sudan sugar company (SSC) manufacturers: Sennar, Assalaya, New Halfa, and Al-Genied. The finding of the paper indicate Kenana and Al-Genied manufacturers exhibit constant return to scale, whereas the other three sugar manufacturers of SSC: Sennar, Assalaya, and New Halfa exhibit increasing return-to-scale. Increasing return to scale implies inefficient utilization of available input mix. The average output loss due to scale inefficiency for Sudan Sugar Company during the periods 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 are respectively 6%, 12%, 14%, and 16% of the benchmark company output level of Kenana. This result implies that for Sudan Sugar Company to increase its efficiency level, needs to manage cane production in Assalya, Sennar, and New Halfa projects on commercial basis, as is the case in Al-Genied, by renting the agriculture land with its infrastructure to private firms to produce sugar cane on commercial basis.

Book Description
This paper employs Stochastic Frontier Analysis to estimate technical efficiency of major sugar producers in Sudan: Kenana sugar company and Sudan sugar company which owns Sennar, Assalaya, New Halfa, and Al-Genied plants. The production function of sugar output employs two inputs: capital, and labor. The finding of the paper indicate technical inefficiency (distance from optimum production frontier) of Sudan sugar company on average is about 13 percent, implying average output loss of (11,294) tons of sugar per annum for each producer. Estimation results in the paper also indicate kenana sugar company is performing at the highest level of efficiency in the group with only 0.12 percent of inefficiency score. The average output loss due to such technical inefficiency for Kenana company is estimated at 407 tons of sugar per annum. The finding in the paper indicate a major source of inefficiency of Assalya and Al-Genied plants is over staff of employment (or labor productivity decline) as well as under utilization of available capital stock. However, the technical inefficiency of Senar and New Halfa is due to shortage of labor (increasing return to scale) and under utilization of capital stock in the case of New Halfa and over utilization of capital in the case of Senar. Such managerial deficiencies of Sudan sugar company plants may be can be mitigated by reverting to a management style that involve private sector partnership.
