“…The more experience a farmer has, the higher the technical efficiency. This result is in line with the findings of Ogunniyi et al (2012) and Ayinde et al (2012) who reported that farming experience significantly affects the technical efficiency of farmers. Furthermore, the availability of credit facilities was statistically significant at the 1% level and had a great influence on the technical efficiency of the farmers.…”

“…Moreover, Table 2 indicated that the factors which contributed to the technical in-efficiency of female farmers include education, farming experience, and farmer's access to credit facilities. Access to formal education has been observed by previous researchers as an important factor that influences farmer's efficiency (Adebayo, 2001;Oladeebo, Fajuyigbe, 2007;Onu, Adebayo, 2010;Ahmadu, Erhabor, 2012;Ogunniyi et al, 2012). The result suggests that with improvement in education, the technical efficiency of the farmers will be improved.…”

“…This shows the critical role education plays in influencing the efficiency of rice farmers. Ogunniyi et al (2012) equally observed that education represents a significant determinant of the efficiency of rice farmers. The study also showed that household size was another determinant of the allocative efficiency of the female farmers.…”

This study is focused on analysing the economics of rice production by the small-holder female rice-farmers in Adamawa State, Nigeria. Specifically, the study described female rice-farmers’ socio-economic characteristics, analysed their technical and allocative efficiencies, and also assessed their economic efficiency in the area. Primary data were collected from 180 randomly selected female rice-farmers in Adamawa State using a semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and stochastic frontier function were used analysing the data collected. Findings of the study revealed that the technical in-efficiency of the farmers is influenced by farming experience, education, and access to credit facilities. Also, the allocative in-efficiency of female farmers was influenced by education, household size, and access to credits. The result showed that education and access to credit facilities were common factors affecting the technical and allocative efficiency of female rice farmers in the area. The mean economic efficiency of the female farmers was 0.6. Therefore, the study recommends that the government and other actors in the agricultural sector should facilitate women’s access to credit facilities and other agricultural information relevant to rice production.

A comparative study between Stochastic frontier production function and corrected Ordinary Least Square (OLS) were estimated to determine technical efficiency in paddy production. Further, the study has assessed the effect of farm specific socio economic factors affecting the technical efficiency. This study was conducted in Cauvery delta zone of seven taluks about canal irrigation. The number of farmers in canal irrigated region about 109 from seven taluks is considered. The data were obtained from the cost of cultivation scheme of Tamil Nadu centre. The results of Cobb Douglas stochastic production function indicated that fertilizer, seed, pesticide and machine hours significantly influenced yield of paddy. The results also indicated that it will be highly profitable to increase the use of seed, and need to rationalize the labour use and pesticide usage. The effect of qualitative variable namely age and education of the farmer would indicate that the older farmers technical efficiency become less compared to the younger farmer, and also implying that investments on human capital take away their participation from agriculture. As a comparative study in general, COLS produced the lowest mean technical efficiency with 85 percent while the Stochastic frontier analysis produced the highest mean technical efficiency with 90 per cent.
