The study calculated technical efficiency, Data Envelopment Analysis technique was employed, one ofthe non-parametric linear programing techniques to estimate the farm level technical efficiency of paddyproduction in Andhra Pradesh. This secondary data set contained 541 paddy producing farms/units acrossAndhra Pradesh state under five agro climatic zones viz North coastal, Godavari, Krishna, Southernand Scarce rainfall zones was studied. The results showed that the overall technical efficiency of theentire sample is 86.8 per cent inferring that about 13 per cent of the potential paddy yield is lost becauseof technical inefficiency in Andhra Pradesh. The yield gap was found to be 981.10 kg/ha in Godavarizone and a minimum yield gap of 335 kg/ha in North coastal zone with an average yield gap of 663 kg/ha for Andhra Pradesh indicating domestic paddy production could be significantly increased only byimproving farmers practices with the current amount of resource they are using. The study suggestedthat there should be exposure to the improved technologies, frequent trainings and experience sharingmechanisms with efficient resource management practices.
