Abstract: The study analysed the technical efficiency of maize production in Egbeda Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria. Specifically, the study described the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents, determined the technical efficiency of maize production as well as sources of inefficiency among the respondents in the study area. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 120 maize farmers in the study area. Data were collected with the aid of structured questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics and stochastic frontier production function. Results revealed that maize production was dominated by male With a mean age pf about 49 years. Majority (83.3%) of the respondents were married with a mean household size of 7 persons. The results of the stochastic frontier analysis revealed that farm size (p<0.01), hired labour (p<0.05), maize seed (p<0.01) and fertilizer (p<0.05) were the significant factors influencing maize output in the study area. Inefficiency in maize production was found to increase with household size (p<0.01) and income (p<0.05) of the farmers while it decreased with sex (p<0.01), farming experience (p<0.01), cropping pattern (p<0.01), membership of cooperative association (p<0.05) and extension visits (p<0.05). The mean technical efficiency of 74% is an indication that available resources were not utilized optimally by the maize farmers. The study recommended that government at the state and local government area levels should engage the services of the extension officers, mass and social media for timely dissemination of information on modern maize production technologies and improved farm practices to the farmers in order to enhance their efficiency in the study area.
