Abstract
The study assessed the technical efficiency (TE) and production function of small scale furniture industry in Lafia Metropolis  of Nasarawa state. Primary data from randomly selected 30 furniture producers were collected using structured questionnaire.  Stochastic production frontier model was used in the analysis of the data. The result of TE was 0.52; minimum efficiency was  0.12, while the maximum was approximately 1.00. While the result of the stochastic frontier production indicated that the  production function of plywood, timber and labor were significant at 1%, 5% and 10%, respectively. It was observed that the  small scale furniture production in the study area level of TE was marginal.
