This study attempts to estimate technical efficiency of paddy farming in the LCWZ. The analysis suggests that management practices such as land leveling, fertilizer application at the required time, pest and disease controlling are among the important areas where attention needs to be paid or enhancing the output without increasing the level of output. The study also put forward a number of remedies. Blurb Source: - Extracted from the publication’s ‘Executive Summary’
