The efficiency analysis of resource allocation indicates that planted area, fertilizer, herbicide, and seeds have a positive effect on efficiency to corn production. It is also found that herbicide has the greater impact on productivity followed by fertilizer and seeds. The marginal analysis, it is found that resource use of farm with and without credit has not reached the optimum point.
