ajoaa-1649	Miho , Asela 	Comparing technical efficiency of maize smallholder farmers in Tabora and Ruvuma regions of Tanzania: a frontier production approach	2018	18	.pdf	application/pdf	9074	395	37	Technical efficiency with stochastic and deterministic frontier functions Both stochastic and deterministic frontier can be used to estimate technical efficiency but stochastic frontier is more accepted because it takes to account symmetric error which is neglected in deterministic frontier. The results as presented in Table 4 suggests that; Age of the head of household is positive in both regions and statistically significantly at 5% caused inefficiency in Ruvuma region maize farmers, this is possible as heads of farming households becomes older they lose energy hence response to improved agricultural facilities decreases and the supervision over their farms decreases hence inefficiency increase.	cache/ajoaa-1649.pdf	txt/ajoaa-1649.txt
