  "description": "<p>The main goal of this study was to identify the determinants of technical inefficiency of wheat production in Jida woreda. The study utilized cross-sectional data obtained from 338 farmers who produce wheat using the two stage sampling techniques during the production season of the 2022/2023-2023/2024. The data was collected from farmers who produce wheat in Jida woreda through questionaries. Descriptive, inferential statistics and econometrics method were used. Stochastic production frontier model with Cobb Douglass production functional form was used to estimate the level of technical inefficiencies. Inferential statistics like the likelihood ratio and chi-square (&chi;2) test were also used to infer the population from a sample. The researcher investigated the factors affecting technical inefficiency and production factors of wheat production in Jida woreda. As study result soil fertility, age, gender, education, land fragmentation, water availability, training and high price of fertilizers influence the level of technical inefficiency of wheat production and statically significant at 1 and 5 percent in Jida woreda. High price of fertilizers, land fragmentation, age, and credit access were statically significant at 1 and 5 percent and increase the technical inefficiency by 3.21%, 1.2%, 0.72% and 1.07% respectively. However, soil fertility, gender, education, water availability, and training were statically significant at 1 and 5 percent and decreases the technical inefficiency of wheat production by 1.08%, 2.2%, 0.38%,2.8% and 1.1% in the study area respectively. Dap, Urea and preferred seed were statically significant at 5 and 1 percent and positively affects the output wheat in Jida woreda. Dap, Urea and preferred seed increase the wheat production of Jida woreda by 0.09%, 0.03% and 0.37% respectively.</p>",
