Abstract

Measures of technical efficiency were estimated using a stochastic translog production frontier for a sample of rainfed rice farmers in Bicol, Philippines. These estimates were farm specific as opposed to being based on deviations from an average sample efficiency. A wide variation in the level of technical efficiencies (0.4 – 0.9) were observed. Differences between farms in technical efficiency were significantly related to method of crop establishment, fertilizer use and access to extension services.
