What is it about?
The present study is conducted to examine the technical efficiency, identify factors causing inefficiency and assess farmer’s perception on major sources of risk in producing watermelon in Bangladesh.Results obtained by fitting the model reveal that mean technical efficiency level is 86% indicating a scope for increasing average efficiency by 14%

Why is it important?
government and non-government organizations may take initiatives to improve watermelon productivity by providing training, and micro credit facility with low rate of interest to the farmers.
Perspectives
The study examined the existence of technical inefficiencies in watermelon production of Bangladesh. That is, yield can be considerably improved without increasing the levels of inputs. At full technical efficiency, on an average, the farmers could increase outputs by 14% without increasing existing input resources
