Abstract: Productivity enhancement through enhancing efficiency in cereal production in general and in wheat production could be an important speed towards achieving food security. This study was aimed at estimating the levels of technical, allocative and economic efficiencies of smallholder wheat producers; and to identify factors affecting efficiency of smallholder farmers in wheat production in Abuna Gindeberet district, Oromia National Regional State, Ethiopia. A two stages sampling technique was used to select 152 sample farmers to collect primary data pertaining of 2016/17 production year. Both primary and secondary data sources were used for this study. Stochastic production frontier approach and two limit Tobit model was employed for data analysis.
