“…Geographical, farm, and farmer variables can explain variations in agricultural production inefficiencies. Literature reviews [ 12 , 13 , 49 , [53] , [54] , [55] , [56] , [57] , [58] , [59] , [60] , [61] ] and in the current study, the study site's reality guides the research. This study explains variation in profit inefficiencies among Kenyan smallholder maize farmers based on factors such as education, experience in maize farming, gender of household heads, the size of the household, the size of the farm, ownership of the land, training in the field, distance between the home and the field, salinity and alkalinity of the soil, disease of the maize crop, and climatic conditions.…”

“…The frontier profit function is the most frequently used method in assessing profit efficiency in agriculture (Wongnaa et al, 2019;Arbelo et al, 2021;Adnan et al, 2021;Jimoh et al, 2023). It allows the joint estimation of the parameters in the profit function and the inefficiency model (Battese & Coelli, 1995;Wongnaa et al, 2019).…”

“…This age range shows that respondents are in productive working years and capable of effectively running businesses to achieve profit [15], [21]. Furthermore, there is potential for empowerment in developing businesses, as age influences capabilities, work ethic, decision-making skills[212-23], understanding, and adoption of the latest innovations and technologies in the livestock sectors [24][25].
