“…It is one of the crucial classes of vegetables extensively cultivated in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries ( Baba et al., 2014 ; Obayelu et al., 2021 ). In Nigeria, pepper is the second most cultivated vegetable ( Abu et al., 2020 ), which used to account for almost half of the African production ( Ayo-John and Odedara, 2017 ; Mustapha et al., 2021 ), and its average consumption per person per day is about 20% ( Ogunbo et al., 2015 ). In combination with other agricultural produces, almost 70% of the farmers and traders depend on pepper for food security, income generation and employment opportunities ( World Bank, 2017 ; Opata et al., 2020 ).…”

“…The variables commonly used in previous studies to explain the efficiency of a sample farm size, schooling years, use of extension services, data recording, and credit use (Adeoye et al, 2014;Başaran and Engindeniz, 2014;Bozoglu and Ceyhan, 2007;Dipeolu and Akinbode, 2008;Jaafar and Jusoh, 1997;Mohamed et al, 2015;Ogunbo et al, 2015;Radam and Ismail, 1999;Rosli, 2013;Rosli et al, 2013). In this study, twelve explanatory variables (farmer's age as year, greenhouse land size as decares, total number of parcels, family size as person, schooling year, use of extension service, off-farm income, cooperative partnership, credit use, data record, insurance and soil test as dummy) were included in tobit regression model in order to investigated determinant of technical efficiency.…”

“…A great deal of studies has been done to measure the technical efficiency of agricultural production through data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier analysis. In some of these studies performed in the world, the technical efficiency of pepper production has been analyzed (Adeoye et al, 2014;Dipeolu and Akinbode, 2008;Jaafar and Jusoh, 1997;Mohamed et al, 2015;Ogunbo et al, 2015;Radam and Ismail, 1999;Rosli, 2013;Rosli et al, 2013). Similarly, efficiency analysis studies have been applied in Turkey.…”

The main objectives of this research were to measure the technical efficiency of green pepper production in the greenhouse and to examine the determinants of technical efficiency in the Mersin province of Turkey. Data envelopment analysis was used to measure technical efficiency. 102 randomly selected farmers were visited to obtained data belong to the 2015 -2016 production year. The results of the research showed that farmers may reduce their input use by 10.5% while maintaining current production under prevailing technology. The technical efficiency scores of the sample farms ranged from 0.748 to 1 (0.905 average). The variables of extension, off-farm income, cooperative partnership, credit usage, record keeping, and soil test positively affected technical efficiency. However, farm size had a negative relationship with efficiency. Therefore, this study proposes strategies such as providing better extension services, cred t serv ces, encouraging farmers to have agricultural insurance, soil tests, and co-operative formation, in order to improve technical efficiency.

Vegetables are important for maintenance of good health; their production and marketing are veritable sources of employment and livelihood. To promote vegetables' contribution to the above, there is a need for sustainable and efficient production process. The paper reviewed production, socioeconomic factors, and constraint affecting efficiency of production of three important vegetables (tomato, pepper, and onion). The review showed that socioeconomic factors found to increase technical efficiency in vegetable production were educational level, extension contact, and household size. Influence of farmer age on technical efficiency was inconclusive due to varied opinions. Increase in farm size, quantity of seed, amount of fertilizer, and agrochemical were found to have positive influence on output. Majority of the literature reviewed opined that increase in quantity of labour raises productivity; however, it must be utilized efficiently. The mean technical efficiency of the vegetables varied from the southern to the northern part of the country. The cross cutting constraints in vegetables production are pest and diseases, inadequate storage facilities, and high cost of improved inputs. The study recommends increase awareness and sensitization on optimum levels of resource use for increased productivity and appropriate intervention to constraints in the value chain.
