Abstract EN
The purpose of this paper was to estimate the production technical efficiency small-scale broiler producers in Khartoum state.
It determined the factors that may affect productivity and the broiler farms efficiency.
A sample of 40 small-scale broiler producers in the State was selected, using a well-structured questionnaire.
Stochastic frontier production function was used to calculate technical efficiency scores and to explore the effect of inefficient factors.
Results showed that the estimated average of technical efficiency for these farms was 83%, which means these producers in average can increase their output by17%given the present condition of technology and inputs levels to reach 100 % of technical efficiency.
This paper recommended that the producers of small scale broiler farms were not technically efficient in use their inputs in broiler production.
