Abstract

 
This study has focused on estimate the technical efficiency of the main governorates of wheat production in Egypt during the time period 1990-2012. We apply the stochastic frontier approach for efficiency measurement. The specification of Battese and Coelli (1992) is employed. The results indicate that the levels of technical efficiency vary among the different governorates of wheat production in Egypt.
