Abstract

This research aims to study the technical efficiency was estimated by Data Envelopment Analysis in
the panel data by Malmquist Index using collected data of off season rice production in the seventeen provinces
in the north of Thailand. The information about off season rice in the crop year 2008/2009 – 2018/2019 to
analyze technical efficiency. The results indicated that the average technical efficiency (TE) score of off season
rice was high. The average TE was 0.933, the highest TE score was 0.963 in Lamphun province and the lowest
TE score was 0.908 in Phetchabun province respectively. In addition, the total factor productivity
(TFP) change, an average score of TFP performed a high efficiency (1.001) during the ten years. The scores with
less than 1.000 were found in 14 provinces from 17 provinces which implied a need to improve performance and
technology. However, this research must be certainly useful for farmers to obtain a better understanding and also
for government to implement the policies of this sector
