Measurement of Technical Efficiency of Wet Season Rice Production in Northern Thailand: An Application of DEA Malmquist Index Abstract All Thai farmers grow rice as the main crop. Rice production in Thailand plays an important role as an important economic crop. In this paper, to measure the technical efficiency of wet season rice production. The objectives were to analyze the efficiency by using an application of data envelopment analysis and used a panel data by Malmquist Index to identify the trend in wet season rice productivity’s change in the crop year 2009/2010 – 2018/2019. The study areas located were in the seventeen provinces in the north of Thailand. The empirical results showed that the average Technical Efficiency (TE) score was 0.892, the highest TE score was 0.920 and the lowest TE score was 0.860 respectively. Phetchabun province provided the best efficiency. Contrary, Tak province where had the worst efficiency among all the producing provinces of wet season rice. Be
