Analysis of Technical and Allocative Efficiency among Small Scale Maize Producers in Arsi Negele Woreda, West Arsi Zone of Oromia, Ethiopia

This research study is carried out to examine Technical and allocative efficiency among Maize growers in Aesi Negele Woreda, West Arsi Zone of Oromia, Ethiopia. The based on primary secondary data, collected through a well designed questionnaire from sample 98 small holder producers. data were analyzed with the use stochastic frontier Cobb. Douglas production function estimate level identify important factors affecting efficiency. Moreover, was estimated using APP, MPP MVP. maximum likelihood estimates for model indicate that land, seed quantity labor have positive significant effects maize yield. However, amount fertilizer applied had negative relation output. Allocative analysis reveals labour are underutilized, while over utilized area. Finally, recommends training provision advanced new technological options has vital role boosting productivity efficiently.
