Abstract

The study analyzed energy-use efficiency of irrigated rice production at the jere bowl of Borno state, Nigeria. One hundred and thirty (130) farmers were sampled through two-stage sampling procedure. Descriptive statistics, data envelopment analysis and tobit regression were used to analyzed the data. The results on energy–use efficiency revealed scores of 0.444, 0.948 and 0.462 for technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency respectively. Moreover, the saving energy estimated showed 8.02% of the percentage of total saving energy over total actual use in optimum requirement. This indicates that about 2711.21MJ/ha of total input energy could be saved while holding the constant output level of rice. The coefficients 0f age, years of formal education, years of farming experience, number of household, farms size and access to credit were significant and positively related to energy-use efficiency in rice production. The study recommended that farmers should use the optimum quantity of energy inputs resulted from this study because about 2711.21MJ/ha of energy could be saved while maintaining the same output thereby improving their efficiency.
