The study analyze the economics of maize production in the study area; described the socio economic characteristics of the maize farmers, determined the profitability of maize production, estimate the technical, allocative and economic efficiencies of maize production and identify the constraints to maize production in the study area. First is the purposive selection of Maigana zone, given its importance in maize production. Secondly Soba Local Government Area was purposively selected based on the dominance of maize production activities among the farmers. Thirdly, two (2) districts were purposively selected from the Local Government Area due to their intensity in maize crop production. Finally, a simple random sampling was employed in selecting farmers from each of the district. Twelve point five percent (12.5%) of the sample frame (1096) was used as the sample size, given that the community is homogenous. In all, 137 farmers were randomly selected.

The net farm income was therefore ₦17279.61.The estimated mean technical efficiency for maize farmers was 0.87. The mean allocative efficiency of the maize farmers was 0.62, while the mean economic efficiency of the maize farmers was 0.54. Finally, among the major constraints identified in maize production in the s
