This study investigated the production efficiencies; technical, economic, and allocative of chickpea cultivation in Amravati district using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Chickpea is one of the major pulse crop, cultivated in Amravati. Chickpea cultivation in India covered approximately 960.84 thousand hectares, yielding 11.34 million tonnes with an average productivity of 1180 kg/ha. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was employed to assess the comparative production efficiency of chickpea seed and grain producers based on key inputs and outputs. The results revealed that seed producers were more technically efficient than grain producers under both CRS (0.953 vs. 0.780) and VRS (0.965 vs. 0.916) models, with a larger proportion achieving full efficiency. Allocative efficiency was also higher among seed producers (0.958) compared to grain producers (0.916), indicating better resource utilization. Similarly, economic efficiency favored seed producers (0.842) over grain producers (0.773), reflecting their superior cost management and productivity.
