The study investigated the efficiency disparities and their determinants between broadcasting and transplanting systems of rice production in Southeast Nigeria. Employing a multi-stage sampling technique, 384 respondents (192 broadcasters and 192 trans planters) were selected for the study. Data collection was conducted using a structured questionnaire, and the collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, stochastic frontier analysis, and inferential statistics, including the paired t-test. Specifically, the study aimed to estimate the input-output relationship of rice farmers concerning transplanting and broadcasting, as well as determine the technical, economic, and allocative efficiency of each system. The findings from the stochastic Cobb Douglas production function for farmers utilizing broadcasting technology revealed a mean TE value of 0.505. Similarly, the transplanting system exhibited a mean TE value of 0.651. The null hypothesis was rejected due to a substantial difference in means (7.26) ***. Consequently, the study recommends efforts to enhance technology adoption among farmers to increase output.
