Chapter 4 this chapter also mention the result and discussion informs the reader about the socio economic characteristic of the sample farmer, analysis of farmer income different between in two income group and compare the profit of soybean farmer. Also the study of technical efficiency effect and inefficiency effects on the dependent variable yield.It was also the compare on the technical efficiency effect by the different income group in the study area.
Chapter 5 was written by the summery of conclusion all the chapter, result and discussion, conclusion and recommendation of the studying and the future study.

CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Study of Soybean Production in Myanmar
In Myanmar, the sown and harvested area of soybean gradually increased from 2012 to 2018. The commercial cultivation of soybean is growing among Myanmar farmers. About 54 percent of soybean plantation is found in the Shan Region. Myanmar soybean has mainly been exported to the Chinese market for the last 5 years. The local government and association are encouraging farmers to grow soybean instead of yellow maize, as soybean can be used for various value-added products and give more profits.
After 2012, rate of increase was significantly high and 389,406 acres were cultivated in 2017-2018 (Figure 2.1). Yield per acre of soybean was about 145000MT before 2012. Seven years later, it became 162609 MT in growing season (Figure 2.2). Production and price of soybean were stable for the first thirty-five years, but it increased until 2016-2018 in Figure 2.3 (MOALI, 2018). Therefore, soybean is found to be an incentive crop in Myanmar. It can be grown in various parts of Myanmar but majority of soybean production is in Shan State which contributes about 50% of the national total area of soybean cultivation (Table 2.1). Shan State is a main-surplus producing area where ecological environment is favorable for soybean production and it supplies mainly to the market in large volume. The rest of soybean area is in Mandalay, Sagaing, Ayeyarwady, Bago Divisions and Kachin State during cool season. Rainy-season soybean is mainly produced in Shan State as a relay crop after rice, with minimum tillage or by seed drill, and usually grown as sole, mixed or intercropped with maize, sorghum or sunflower. In lower Myanmar, soybean is cultivated as a winter crop on alluvial soils of inundated areas.

2.2 Study of Technical efficiency in Myanmar
Technical efficiency is one of the efficiency of overall efficiency utilization of resource, which is to determine the ratio of real and potential output and efficiency fluctuation in the agricultural environment. In this study, the technical efficiency of soybean production in Myanmar. In this review article we briefly explain the impact of ad
