“…Coeffi cient for tea farming experience was signifi cant and negative in consistence with the fi ndings of Ogundele and Okoruwa (2006) and Onumah et al (2010), who found that farming experience signifi cantly aff ected technical effi ciency of rice farmers in Nigeria and fi sh farmers in Ghana respectively. The coeffi cient and its sign meant that if the teafarming experience were increased by one year, the smallholder farmer's ineffi ciency would decrease by 0.002%.…”

“…There have been conflicting findings of hired labor and farm output. For instance, Amaza and Ogundari (2008) have found evidence for a positive effect of hired labor, while Ogundele and Okoruwa (2004) have found a negative evidence. While factoring the cost of hired laborers on the farm, it is expected in this study that they will have a positive influence on the quantity of the production of dry season vegetables.…”

PurposeThe study was conducted to investigate the economics of dry season vegetable production in Ogun state, Nigeria.Design/methodology/approachDescriptive statistics, budgetary technique and regression analysis model were used to analyze the data collected from 120 respondents using multistage sampling technique.FindingsDescriptive statistics showed that while the mean age of the farmers was 62.1 ± 38.78, the mean farming experience was 17.3 ± 12.84. Majority (56.7%) of the respondents were uneducated. Vegetable enterprise in the area was male-dominant. The result of budgetary analysis revealed that the average net and total income were ₦ 55,405.29 and ₦ 131,514, respectively. While the average total variable cost was ₦ 64,767.29, average total cost was ₦ 76,108.70. Benefit cost ratio and rate of returns were 1.73 and 0.73, respectively. The regression analysis revealed that revenue from vegetable production in the study area was influenced by farm size, seed quantity, farming experience, quantity of labor and fertilizer used.Research limitations/implicationsIt is therefore imperative for policymakers to encourage dry season vegetable farming as a viable enterprise option for the unemployed and upcoming entrepreneurs. Meanwhile, the government should design and implement policies that would improve access to land, labor, quality seed, water and fertilizers.Originality/valueThe study adds to the growing body of literature on inherent prospects for labor and entrepreneurs as regards the opportunities latent in dry season farming activities.

“…Farmers with large farm size are supposed to be less inefficient. The findings of Ogundele and Okoruwa (2004) shows that farm size significantly determines levels of technical efficiency. The results further indicate that increasing the farm size has a positive effect upon the technical efficiency of potato production.…”

A study was done in 2018 to estimate the technical efficiency of potato production in mid western terai region of Nepal.30 households each from Dang, Banke and Bardiya districts were interviewed. Maximum likelihood estimate of the parameter showed the mean technical efficiency of 0.79 which indicated a high scope of increasing the production with the improvement of production technology. The coefficient for the parameter seed, Urea, DAP, MOP and labour were positive contributing for the production of potato. The parameter Compost, pesticides, herbicides and hour of tractor use were negative. The use of these input could be improved for increasing the production of potato. The farm specific variables Education, contact with the extension agent and farm size showed negative coefficient which causes less inefficiency of the farmers in production of potato while the coefficient for Age was estimated to be positive.
