Abstract:
A study was carried out in Shimla District of Himachal Pradesh to assess the farm efficiency of pea production in case of the beneficiary and non-beneficiary farmers. Multistage random sampling was used to collect the sample of 100 farmers. The DEA approach was used to assess the efficiency of the farmers. On an average the farmers were 82 percent technically efficient (CRS) in pea production. Tobit regression model was used to determine the factors affecting technical, allocative, scale and economic efficiency. The main factors used in the study were area under crop, education, farm size and government financial supports.
