abstract: Ensuring better allocation of productive resources necessitates socioeconomic considerations. This study examined the performance of table egg production in southern Togo by determining the breeders’ production efficiency level through the stochastic frontier analysis in table egg production. Consequently, identifying the factors that significantly impact technical and allocative efficiency, and explaining the reasons for the technical inefficiency of table egg production. A parametric approach was used to estimate the technical and allocative efficiency levels from a stochastic frontier analysis. Data were collected from primary sources via a structured questionnaire (open-ended) administered to 88 poultry farms in southern Togo (2021) randomly. The parameters measured in this study were table egg production, the feed consumption during the production (each stage separately), veterinary treatment costs (drugs, vitamins), the flock size, the size of the exploitation, and the related costs of production. The finding indicated that 70% of table egg poultry farms in the Maritime Region of southern Togo are moderately technically efficient, although individual efficiency varies. Factors, such as flock size, labor, and veterinary treatments significantly influence the egg production process. Estimating the stochastic production function frontier revealed that inefficiencies in layer production largely stem from technical inefficiency among producers rather than inefficient resource allocation. The present study shows that poultry farms in Southern Togo exhibit medium technical efficiency but demonstrate effective allocation efficiency. Despite high-capacity facilities and financial constraints, the variation in the poultry breeders' production efficiency is explained by both endogenous and exogenous socioeconomic factors revealed through Tobit analysis. These factors are categorized into two groups, including primary (age, education, active membership, density, conflicts…
