520 _aThis study evaluated the technical, economic and allocative efficiency of maize production in eastern Ethiopia using cross-sectional data collected from 480 maize plots. The stochastic production function, fitted using the Cobb–Douglas production function, indicated that the amount of seed, land and DAP (Diammonium phosphate) are highly significant in determining maize production in the study area. The results of the study also indicated that the potential to improve economic efficiency of maize production in the study area relies more on allocative efficiency compared with technical efficiency. The study also identified socioeconomic and institutional factors that determine technical efficiency in the study area.
