摘要: Malaria is one of the commonest tropical diseases plaguing African continent and rural areas in particular. This study was carried out to examine effect malaria on productivity rice farmers Southwest Nigeria. The data for this were obtained from hundred fifty (150) Ogun State Ekiti by purposive simple random sampling techniques. analyzed using descriptive statistics, Tobit regression stochastic frontier model. result analysis showed that more males (84%) involved production about 72% susceptible malaria. Average days incapacitation due area found be 10 also revealed age, gender, income years formal education significant. However, mean technical efficiency 75 percent, indicating 25% have potential improve their output further if there improvement health status environment farmers. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n15p175
