الملخص

ABSTRACRTThe objectives of this study briefly were to examine the technicalefficiency of the tenant farmers of wheat in the Gezira Scheme, and toinvestigate the causal factors explaining this efficiency in the scheme, andhence draw conclusions and recommendations to be considered by themanagement and policy-makers. The technical efficiency of the ith tenantfarmer is defined in terms of the ratio of his mean production to thecorresponding mean production if the farmer effect is zero.The scope of this thesis was limited to an analysis of data collectedfrom selected sample of tenant farmers in an attempt to investigate thetechnical efficiency of the wheat producers in relation to the economic andsocio-cultural complex in which tenant live and make decisions.A stochastic frontier production function is used to estimate thetechnical efficiency of the wheat tenant farmers in the Gezira Scheme. Afrontier production function of Cobb-Douglas type is specified for panel1data. The number of observations on the different farmers needs not to bethe same. Estimates of the productive efficiency of individual tenantfarmers are found to be very low, ranging between 0.274 and 0.713, andthe bulk of them- about 52 percent- scored a rate of technical efficiencyless than or equal to 0.400.Many factors contributed to this low rate of productive efficiency,among which it seems that management and polices are of significant role.
