The aim of this study is to estimate the technical efficiency and to identify the factors affecting technical inefficiency of vegetable crops in Vavuniya district in Sri Lanka. Fifty farmers who are cultivating three vegetables namely, brinjal, long beans and tomato were selected randomly. The collected data were analysed using ordinary least square estimates of Cobb Douglas production function and maximum-likelihood estimates of Cobb -Douglas stochastic production model. In both models, yield of each vegetable crop was regressed as a function of size of land, labour, capital and raw materials...
