This study aims to (1) analyze the factors affecting production of rice farming business in Bombana Regency, (2) analyze the extent of technical efficiency of rice farming business in the Regency. The study was conducted from April to October 2019. Bombana was considered as the area in which the study took place because most of the people were rice farmers and they were potential to develop. There were 120 rice farmers participated in the study. The samples were taken using simple random sampling. Primary data were collected by interview based on questionnaire, while secondary data were collected by going over the official documents issued by authorized agency. The data were analyzed using stochastic frontier production-function analysis and Cobb-Douglass analysis. The result showed that (1) of all affecting factors, fertilizers such as NPK as well as the land area had positive and significant correlation to the rice production; (2) the average value of technical efficiency of rice farmers was 84% and there were 16% chance to increase the rice production with additional optimal production input.
