Abstract

An efficient producers are those capable of maximizing output from the same input use, or produce the same product prom fewer levels of input use. If the efficiency gains are high enough it could indicate that the farmer is able to manage his resources in a way. So that achieves high efficiency. This study used 75 respondents from a randomly sampled of Noelbaki village. The aim of this study is to estimate farm technical and to know efficiency diffusion. The analysis found that the average technical efficiency of dry land agriculture in Noelbaki village was 0.68 or 68%. This means that the inefficiency of dry land agriculture is still quite high at 32%. Meanwhile, from the distribution of peasants at the level of technical efficiency was <0.70 or <70% there were about > 50.67% of peasants. While at the level of efficiency that is sufficient to be efficient (0.70 -> 0.90) there are about 49.33% of peasants in Nolebaki village. Based on these conclusions, it is recommended that improvements in technical efficiency need to be directed towards improvements that lead to a long-term perspective and environmentally friendly orientation.
