Abstract
The study applied the stochastic approach of Cobb-Douglas production function to evaluate
the technical efficiency of rice production in Nasirabad, Balochistan. The results of the study vetoed all the
hypotheses of technical efficiency. The results indicate that 42 percent of the rice producers are technically
efficient and have significant potential for technical efficient rice production. Therefore, there is a great
potential to increase the per acre productivity of a typical farmer in the district to a greater extent by achieving
the technical efficiency. Moreover, the additional amount of rice obtained with help of technical efficiency
improvements can also spur the average income of family to escape them from absolute poverty. Furthermore,
the results of the study indicate that extensive consultation and training of the farmers can significantly
improve the technical efficiency. In other words, the extension department of Balochistan should take a step
to provide all the necessary training and consultation to the farmers to improve the technical efficiency of the
rice producers in the district.
