“…First, existing results are consistent with recent studies (Dong et al, 2019;Liang et al, 2019), with an average value of approximately 0.062. However, compared with neighboring countries' crop growers globally, including Vietnam, where growers had an average productivity value of 0.74 (Nguyen et al, 2021, or India, where the score is 0.77 (Murthy et al, 2009), Pakistani crop growers seem to have inferior TE values. One probable explanation for this disparity is Pakistan's land tenure structure, which may not be as favorable to efficient crop-growing techniques as in other nations.…”

Digital technology plays a crucial role in advancing sustainable farming and ensuring food security, especially in developing countries. This study evaluates the impact of Internet technology usage on technical efficiency in crop productivity, using data from 600 wheat farmers in rural Pakistan. It addresses the imperative need to enhance agricultural practices within the context of sustainable food production. To achieve this, a matched sample of Internet users and non-users was formed through propensity score matching. The study employs the stochastic frontier method with sample selection adjustment, ensuring a robust evaluation of technical efficiency between these groups. The findings reveal a positive influence of Internet usage on efficiency, persisting even after mitigating self-selection bias from observed and unobserved factors. Internet users exhibit a technical efficiency score of 0.62, surpassing the 0.55 score of non-users. Quantile regression analysis exposes varying impacts of Internet usage on technical efficiency, with less efficient farmers experiencing substantial improvements. Widespread Internet adoption holds the potential to significantly enhance agricultural production for growers. The research underscores the role of promoting Internet utilization to stimulate growth and improve farming efficiency within the evolving digital economy. Policymakers are advised to promote the adoption of modern technology to enhance crop production and support economic growth.

An investigation into the technical efficiency of smallholder out-grower tea farmers of Chipinge district, Zimbabwe was carried out. The method employed was the Data Envelope Analysis (DEA) approach on 50 smallholder out-grower farmers collected in November, 2013. The estimates of technical efficiencies of the farmers range from 0.37 to 1.0 while the mean technical efficiency was found to be 0.79. This suggests that 21 % of smallholder out-grower tea output is lost because of inefficiency. Experience in tea farming, area under tea production, amount of fertiliser used in production, access to extension services, extent of farm commercialization, amount of labour used in production and yield of tea significantly affect technical efficiency among smallholder out-grower tea farms. The study results imply that improvement in technical efficiency should be the first logical step for increasing productivity in smallholder out-grower tea farming in Chipinge district.
