Although organic rice is a niche market in Pakistan, it has exhibited enormous potential for growth export-oriented production. Since contract farming the leading promoter of production Punjab, improving technical efficiency smallholder farmers through holds sufficient potential. This work examines influence participation on farmers’ using cross-sectional data set 650 respondents. We applied stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) to examine and inefficiency estimates. Further, propensity score matching (PSM) was used control endogeneity self-selection bias The results reveal that 89.7%, which can still be improved by 10.3% at current sociodemographic characters input levels. Likewise, land size, seed, machine expenditures are key inputs frontier. Results show positive significant connection between efficiency. study extends literature efficiency, production, farming, well-being farmers. Moreover, study’s findings provide cues policies practices.
