Data were collected from 100 farmers using purposive and simple random sampling with aid of structured schedule.The result of the stochastic frontier production function analysis shows that the variance parameters, that is the sigma squared (52) and the gamma (y) were statistically significant at 1% level for tomato production. The coefficient of farm size and seed were positiveand significant at 1% level while family and hired labor was negative and insignificant. Profit level can be increased by increasing the farm size and quantity of seed, and decreasing the use of manual labor. Mean efficiency were 0.69, Farmers operated at 31.03% below frontier level due to variation in technical efficiency. The inefficiency model shows that the coefficient of Age, Gender and family size have negative apriori sign and in consonance with the apriori expectation. Better use of technology dissemination was suggested to enhance the production level at fanners field and optimum utilization of resources. 收起
