The study estimates the determinants of technical inefficiency among the farmers that are participating in the Ondo State chapter of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) program in Nigeria. Data were collected from farmers under the NDE programme in Ondo State, Nigeria. Using a tobit analysis, it was found that extension visits and higher education were significant factors influencing technical efficiency. This suggests that sound education, efficient inputs supply strategy and public awareness of efficient technology are key factors necessary for policy consideration.
