Abstract
We use the slacks-based data envelopment analysis model to obtain the shadow prices of nitrogen surplus in a sample of Lithuanian family farms over 2014 and 2019. The variable returns to scale weak disposability technology is assumed. The results indicate that the shadow price obtained for Lithuanian cereal farms is relatively low compared to the earlier literature. This implies that the environmental performance of Lithuanian cereal farms needs to be improves (especially, the fertilizing regime).
