      abstract = {This study aims at estimating gross and net technical  efficiencies using four alternative Cobb- Douglas  stochastic production frontiers. This study reveals that  production of wheat in Bangladesh is profitable and small  farmers earned significantly higher yield and net returns  per hectare than other fart groups. Technical efficiency  scores estimated from different models vary from 46 percent  to 99 percent and the maximum efficiency attained at the  level 90-100 percent. Average gross technical efficiency  varies from 86 to 89 percent whereas average net technical  efficiency varies from 90 to 92 percent. This study also  reveals that wheat output can be increased in the range  8-11 percent by using the existing resources and  technology. It is obvious that environmental factors have  positive impact on both production and technical  efficiency. The development of advanced technology is the  only option to increase wheat production in the long-run.},
