The TFPV Malmquist index is one of the tools that does not require knowledge of the price level and qives information on factors affecting productivity changes over time. The DEA-based approach allows decomposing of the TFPC indices into:technical change ( Δ T),technical efficiency change ( ΔTE) and scale efficiency change (Δ SE). A panel data from the companies of a key food processing sector, namely the meat processing, was used in the paper. The sample consisted of above 200 objects. The results indicated which of the decomposed indices ( ΔT, ΔTE, ΔSE) had the greatest impact on productivity changes in the analyzed sector.
