dc.description.abstractThis study estimated the technical efficiency and the cost and returns of rice farms in the Government irrigation scheme located at Duku area of Kwara State, Nigeria. It also identified the determinants of the technical efficiency. The average gross margin of the rice farms is N94, 376.35. The rate of returns to the rice production 88.8%, which indicated that for every N 1 invested in each of the sites N0.88K, was expected as profit respectively. The technical efficiency was estimated using the Cobb-Douglas Stochastic frontier Production Function. The result revealed the mean technical efficiency of the project sites (Rice Farm) is 0.98. The high efficiency estimate obtained for the rice farms at the project site can be attributed to the government assistance to the farmers in the form of input/output linkages. It is therefore the recommendation of the researchers that High Yielding Rice Cultivars, credits and other forms of institutional supporting project should be the focus of government if rice productions are to be improved and sustained in this environmental change.en_US
