To estimate the technical efficiency among rice farmers and its contribution to profitability of new rice technology, the frontier production function approach is applied to the data collected in rural Philippines. A statistical test to test whether the functional form is Cobb-Douglas or Translog, suggests that the model can not be better represented by Translog production frontier. The estimation results show that technical efficiency estimated by Cobb-Douglas model contributes around 70% of the explained profit variability
