	%X The study identified the sources of production
inefficiency of the farming sector in district Faisalabad in the Punjab
province of Pakistan. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique
was utilized at farm level survey data of 300 farmers for the year
2009. The overall mean efficiency score was 0.78 indicating 22
percent inefficiency of the sample farmers. Computed efficiency
scores were then regressed on farm specific variables using Tobit
regression analysis. Farming experience, education, access to
farming credit, herd size and number of cultivation practices showed
constructive and significant effect on the farmer-s technical
efficiency.
