摘要：Over the last decade, although, the planting area of wheat increased, the yield is still at same lowerlevel and there is no significant improvement in wheat yield per hectare, though some farms are quite efficientand are using accordingly during the process of production. The present study applied the slack-based measureof efficiency to determine technical efficiency of wheat producers in the South-Western Libya during 2015cropping season. In the same token, a Tobit Model was regressed to examine the determinants of technicalinefficiency among wheat farmers. Evaluation of technical efficiency as well as input slacks, offers an importantunderstanding of the wheat farms performance in terms of resource utilization which enables effectiveformulation of policies. The result shows that wheat farmers have a great chance to enhance their productionand productivity by better use of the inputs and the government could increase the productivity of wheat byfocusing on motivating and encouraging the younger generation of educated farmers. Furthermore, the usageof improved seeds could be recommended to inefficient farms to assist them in catching up with other farmswith the best practices.
