Bihar Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: This study analyses the determinants of technical efficiency of coffee production in Ethiopia. Cob-Douglas production function has been applied in this study. The stochastic frontier analysis result showed that coffee farm size, labor, compost (organic fertilizers) and improved coffee variety were important inputs. However, coffee productivity and quality improvement package participation did not affect technical efficiency. Consistent with the hypothesis intercropping khat and coffee and age of coffee tree were found to significantly increase the technical inefficiency of farmers. Results of the study suggest that by improving technical efficiency of farmers, the cash income of smallholder coffee farmers and the problem of low coffee production and productivity in the sector could be handled with a great extent using the existing resources and adopting best practices of relatively efficient farmers. – Reproduced
