N2  - The main objective of this study is to estimate technical and economic efficiencies for peanut farming in Turkey. For this purpose, data obtained from 90 peanut growing farms located in Adana and Osmaniye provinces, which together accounts for more than 80% of Turkey's peanut production, were analyzed employing Data Envelopment Analysis and Stochastic Frontier Analysis. Peanut yield, pure nitrogen and phosphorus, machinery and labor hours and cost of pesticide per unit area were used in the analysis. Effects of some socio-economic variables on the efficiency scores of the farms were also analyzed. The results reveal that technical efficiencies vary between 0.80-0.86 and economic efficiency is about 0.60. Technical inefficiency stems from the fact that farms produce lower than their corresponding production frontier. Improvement of allocative efficiency appears to be relatively more important than technical efficiency as a source of gains in productive efficiency for the sample farms. Efficiencies are positively correlated with education, peanut planting area, and observance of proposed nitrogen doses, and negatively correlated with ratio of family labor, number of irrigations and plots. However, only the effects of planting area, ratio of family labor and observance of proposed nitrogen doses were found to be statistically significant
