This study was undertaken to principally determine the technical efficiency differential of groundnut production by adopters and non-adopters of Institute for Agriculture (IAR) groundnut varieties in Jigawa state, Nigeria.Interview schedule was used to collect data from a sample of 227 respondents who were selected randomly from the four agricultural zones in the study area. The analytical tools employed in data analysis include descriptive statistics and stochastic frontier production function. The result of the Maximum Likelihood Estimation of the stochastic frontier production function revealed that the maximum, minimum and mean efficiencies of farmers who adopted IAR groundnut varieties were 91%, 18% and 70% respectively while in the case of farmers who did not adopt, the maximum, minimum and mean efficiencies were 88%, 18% and 63%. This implies that the farmers who adopted IAR groundnut varieties are more technically efficient than farmers who did not adopt IAR groundnut varieties. Therefore, adopting of IAR groundnut varieties by farmers can contribute in enhancing their technical efficiency.The sources of technical inefficiency of adopters of IAR groundnut varieties were age (P<0.01), family size (P<0.01), education (P<0.01), extension (P<0.01) and credit(P<0.05). The result of the inefficiency model of the non-adopters of IAR groundnut varieties revealed that the major factorsinfluencing the technical inefficiency were family size (P<0.01), education (P<0.01), farming experience (P<0.05) and extension contact (P<0.05). Based on the findings of the study, Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that Government should fast track seed multiplication and distribution through effective extension service delivery to farmers so as to intensify and sustain the adoption of improved groundnut varieties towards enhancing the technical efficiency of groundnut farming households.

Frontier Production Function

This study aimed to estimate the stochastic frontier production function and the inefficiency function and technical efficiency of potato production by using cross-section data collected from 173 potato farms that were randomly selected in Baghdad province/ Yusifiyah for production season 2016. The results showed that 90.6% of inefficiency in production was due to technical inefficiency. Also, there was a significant relationship between the variables of inefficiency function and the inefficiency of farms. The values of the parameters of the stochastic frontier production function were positive and significant for both human work hours and the amount of seeds. However, the parameter of DAP fertilizer was negative and significant. The estimation of the technical inefficiency function showed that its parameters were significant for both the local seed provider and the agricultural season (fall), while the parameters experience in growing potatoes and the number of irrigations were significant and their impact was negative on the inefficiency. The results also showed that the technical efficiency of the study sample (50%) on average. The researchers recommended the necessity of providing imported seed tubers for the increased productivity in dunum to achieve technical efficiency.

Frontier Production Function

<p><strong>English</strong><br />Technical efficiency and profitability are the key for business enterprise development. Kupang regency is a center of smallholder broiler farms in East Nusa Tenggara Province that evolve with partnership and non-partnership types of enterprises. The study aims to analyze technical efficiency and profitability of the two types enterprises that may be useful in formulating broiler farming development in policy in Kupang Regency. Data was collected from purposively selected of 30 partnership farmers and 30 non partnership farmers in July 2019-August 2020. Technical efficiency was measured using the stochastic frontier production function. Profitability was measured using the R/C ratio. Results showed that both partnership and non-partnership enterprises are technically efficient, but technical efficiency of the non-partnership group is higher than the partnership group. Determinants of technical inefficiency of the partnership group are farmers’ education and family size. Determinants of technical inefficiency of the non-partnership group are farmers’ education, length of farming experience and family size. The non-partnership enterprises are more profitable than the partnership enterprises with average R/C ratio 1.19 and 1.06, respectively. Appropriate use of inputs, technology innovation and good farm management practices should be facilitated by the government in order to further increase farm technical efficiency and profitability.</p><p><br /><em></em></p><p><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Efisiensi teknis dan profitabilitas adalah kunci utama perkembangan suatu usaha.

Data dikumpulkan dari 30 peternak mitra dan 30 peternak nonmitra yang dipilih secara purposif pada Juli 2019–Agustus 2020.  Efisiensi teknis diukur dengan mempergunakan fungsi produksi <em>stochastic frontier.  </em>Profitabilitas diukur dengan R/C rasio. Penelitian menunjukan bahwa peternakan ayam broiler pola kemitraan maupun nonmitra adalah efisien secara teknis namun efisiensi teknis kelompok nonkemitraan lebih tinggi dari kelompok kemitraan. Inefisiensi teknis usaha ternak mitra dipengaruhi oleh tingkat pendidikan peternak dan jumlah tanggungan keluarga. Sedangkan inefisiensi teknis usaha ternak nonmitra dipengaruhi oleh tingkat pendidikan peternak, pengalaman beternak, dan jumlah tanggungan keluarga. Usaha ternak nonmitra lebih menguntungkan dibandingkan sistem mitra dengan nilai R/C rasio berturut-turut 1,19 dan 1,06. Penggunaan <em>input</em> yang sesuai, inovasi teknologi dan penerapan manajemen usaha ternak yang baik perlu difasilitasi pemerintah guna meningkatkan efisiensi teknis usaha dan profitabilitas usaha ternak.</p>

This paper investigated the determinants, especially labor transformation, and differences of technical efficiency between main and non-main grain-producing area in China based on a panel data from 30 provinces in the period of 2001–2017. Stochastic frontier production function was used to estimate the level of technical efficiency and the marginal productivity of different inputs. The estimated results showed that land is the most important factor to improve China’s grain output, followed by fertilizers, labor, and machinery inputs. There was a significant 4.6 percent gap of production efficiency between main and non-main producing provinces. Influence of rural labor transformation was confirmed to be positive to improve technical efficiency.

Frontier Production Function

Technological change and efficiency improvement are important sources of productivity growth in any economy. The concept of technical efficiency (TE) is based on input and output relationships. Technical inefficiency arises when actual or observed output from a given input mix is less than a possible mix. The analysis of technical efficiency involves the assessment of the degree to which the production technologies are utilized. The present investigation on “Formation and efficient estimation of stochastic frontier production functions” was carried out in the Department of Agricultural Statistics, College of Horticulture, Vellanikkara, during 2010 -13. To assess the present economics of pepper cultivation, to formulate a new stochastic frontier production function and to compare different stochastic frontier production functions. The secondary data on the area of holdings, number of vines, yield, expenses for machinery, labour, manure, and other expenses for the cultivation of the major spice pepper collected from the Department of Plantation Crops and Spices, College of Horticulture, Vellanikkara were used for the analysis. For the stochastic frontier production model to be realistic, an exact measurement of the cost of the inputs and the realized output is extremely necessary. Very few farmers keep records of the expenditure incurred on the various inputs and rarely the output realized. Vegetable crops have a short duration. So the farmer will be in a position to give realistic figures regarding the various inputs as also the outputs. As regards plantation crops, there will be a lag right from the establishment of the crop to the steady bearing stage. Therefore, it will be very difficult to trace back the exact cost, as no records would be available about the costs incurred. Therefore, a rapid estimation survey is the only feasibility wherein simultaneous estimation of the costs involved from the nursery through the various stages of growth can be observed. Since a farmer who is already having a steady-bearing crop would have incurred lesser costs through the previous stages of growth of the crop, it is most feasible to use the concept of present worth to arrive at the exact costs of previous stages of the crop. The stochastic frontier analysis was done using the present value (PV) and the present cost.
