    • Abstract


    This study aimedto identify the technical efficiency and factors affecting the efficiency in organic vegetable production.By usingCobb - Douglas production function with 67 organic vegetable producers in Thanh Xuan commune, Soc Son district, Ha Noi city, the present study indicatedthat the technical efficiencies of organic tomato and cabbage production were 62% and 89%, respectively. Factors affecting the technical efficiencies includedsowing rate, planting area, organic fertilizer, plant protection cost and water., factors causing the technical inefficiencies were age, education and experience of farm households inorganic farming. The expansione of farm size in combination with proper uses of inputs under organic technical procedures can improve organic vegetable yields.
