ABSTRACT
The present study was undertaken to assess the technical efficiency at farm level in respect of soybean crop by selecting farmers growing soybean in Amravati district. They were grouped in three groups. Group I for small farmers, Group II for medium farmers and Group III for large farmers. The primary data was collected by survey method and the analysis was done by using Data Envelopment Analysis computer programme. The analysis revealed that the mean technical efficiency under constant returns to scale for small farmers, medium farmers and large farmers was found to be 0, 97.4 and 61.8 per cent, respectively. The mean technical efficiency under variable return to scale for small farmers, medium farmers and large farmers was found to be 0, 94.3 and73.6 per cent, respectively.
