![]() ![]() The mean technical efficiency was 80.4% under row planting and 43.8% under broadcasting w confirmed that Gurage zone teff producers are more technically efficient under row planting than broadcasting method. About 81.3% and 84.8% of the variation in teff output from the frontier was attributed to technical inefficiency in row planting and broadcasting methods, respectively. The analysis’ results depicted that labor, oxen power, quantity of seed and size of teff cultivated land significantly affects teff productivity under both methods. ![]() ![]() One stage stochastic production frontier model was used for the analysis. The study was conducted using cross-sectional data from 276 households. This study therefore analyzes comparative technical efficiency of teff production under row planting and broadcasting methods and identifies its determinants in southwest Ethiopia, Gurage zone. Due to lack of clear awareness on different sowing methods, majority of Ethiopian smallholders are indifferent of sowing their teff in row or broadcasting method. ![]()
