The background research was Indonesianagriculture development towards food sovereignty. Rice is the main food crop everywhere in Indonesia including in the border area. The isgeographical constrains on the fulfillment of farming input and the position of the research location makes this research necessary. The technical efficiency of upland and downland rice farming was estimated using MLE frontier production. The result showed that the level of the obtained technical efficiency for upland and downland rice farming was varying between 23%-99% and 88%-99%, respectively. Moreover, it was found that the influencing factors of technical efficiency were farm size, seed, herbicide, and labor.
