Tun Win (2004), through technical efficiency assessment, estimated the production effectiveness of high-income and low-income pre-monsoon cotton farmers (2002-2003) in Kyaukse and Meikhtila cities to identify factors that influence the production of cotton. The mean cotton farmer efficiency was 0,67, which indicates that in the short term, cotton production could be increased by 33 percent by using the best practice cotton farms' technology and techniques.
War War Shein (2004) proof, sugarcane farmers in the private sectors of Katha, Hteegyaint and Thabeikkyin townships explored profitability and technical performance .The findings showed that the Township of Thabeikkyin was financially more competitive for both new plant and ratoon than other townships The technical output for new plants ranged from 56% to 100% at an average value of 77% and 52% to 94% at an average value of 69% for ratoon. The estimates for new plants ranged from 56% to 100% at average value. There was a scope for increasing syrup production by 23% for new plant, and 31% for ratoon with the present technology. The study concluded that improvement in technical efficiency was still possible in the private sector. This kind of syrup cottage industry would assist the raw material for syrup-based industry and generate the income of private sugarcane farmers.

5.1 Summary statistics of the variables for sample soybean farmers in Taunggyi Township
Table 5.1 reveals the summary statistics of the variables for sample soybean farmers in Taunggyi Township. The mean yield of soybean for low income group was 15.9 bags per acre with a range of 3 to 30 bags. For high income group, it was 18.5 bags per acre ranging from 5 to 39.6 bags. As a whole, the average yield of soybean was 17.3 bags ranging from 3 to 39.6 bags.
The average seed rate used in soybean cultivation for low income group was 14.5kg per acre with a range of 8 to 25 Kgs. High income group and all farmers utilized the seed at the average rates of 13.4 and 13.7 kg per acre respectively, ranging from 4 to 24 kgs.
The human labor used by low income group was the mean of 45 man days ranging from 14 to 94 man days while for high income farmers it was 44 man days with a range of 6 to 111 man days. For a
