Abstract: 
The conventional Total Factor Productivity (TFP)
measurement does not incorporate the effects of undesirable outputs,
which are harmful to the environment. Using sugarcane farming in Kenya,
this paper illustrates the differences between the conventional
Malmquist index measures where the environment variable is not adjusted
and environment-adjusted measures using both hyperbolic and directional
distance functions. The mean TFP change estimates for the conventional
Malmquist index, adjusted hyperbolic index and Luenberger indicator were
3.13%, 0.11% and 2.21%, respectively. The conventional non-adjusted
measure lies between the two adjusted measures of hyperbolic index and
Luenberger indicator.
