Abstract :

This study was designed to measure technical efficiency in gram production of Amravati division of Vidharbha region of Maharashtra state using a stochastic frontier production model. The sample of 75 Gram farmers were selected from which input–output data collected based on 2011–12 rabi cropping season. The results revealed that the technical efficiency of gram production range from 61% to 93% with mean 82%. Indicating the presence of 18% inefficiency. It implies that there is scope to increase the productivity of the farmers to the extent of 18%, if the gap between technology adopted and the technology recommended is minimized.
