Abstract
The paper aims to compare the scale efficiency of milk production on the basis of data from selected farms associated in European Dairy Farmers network (EDF). The date for analysis were collected from 262 farms in 2005. The scale efficiency of milk production was computed by applying Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The results of the study showed that 188 farms were inefficient, 79 farms had to high scale of production and 109 farms had too low scale of production. The later farms should therefore change the structure of inputs and outputs to get the optimal scale of production.
