Abstract: This study aimed to measure the level of technical efficiency of Congolese tomato producers and to identify its main determinants. A sample of 120 tomato producers in the territories of Kasangulu and Kisantu in the province of Kongo Central was drawn using the voluntary sampling technique. The result of the stochastic frontier model revealed that more than half of the tomato producers in these territories are technically efficient with an average technical efficiency score of 99%. As for the determinants of the level of efficiency, the result reveals that the level of efficiency found is influenced by the quantity of fertilizers (NPK), the quantity of seeds, as well as certain household assets such as paid labor and the cart.
