چکیده
The present research attempted to address cost inefficiency of USAID MARKETS II smallholder farmers in Nigeria’s Kano State using farm survey data obtained from 189 through a multi-stage sampling technique. were elicited viz. well-structured questionnaire coupled with interview schedule during the 2018 cropping season. collected analyzed both descriptive and inferential statistics- stochastic frontier function. empirical evidence showed that none technical unit was efficient this owed majorly extension gap given its interwoven link risk inducing factors. Besides, only 57.7%, marginally above half sampled units fairly i.e. close optimum minimum preferred for production process. On average, wasted 14.7% actual incurred which translates N1100 ($3.7) relative best practiced facing same technology producing output. Therefore, since still have room eliminate extra incurred, study advice program explore further advisory services offered farmers, thus addressing inhibited farmers’ efficiency. sustainability project near future absence especially farmer-2-farmer if not explored is unlikely.
