Crop producers’ technical efficiency and its determinants in Gurage zone, Ethiopia: A comparative analysis using rural-urban migration as a parameter

In this study the technical efficiency of crop-producing households and the factors that influence it are explored, and comparisons are made using rural–urban migration as a comparative measure, in Gurage Zone, Ethiopia. The data were collected from 384 arbitrary picked rural households and analyzed...
