ABSTRACT={This study assesses the impact of the adoption of technological innovations on rice-growing performance in Senegal. Given the endogenous nature of the adoption process, we used an endogenous stochastic frontier model. The results reveal that adopting improved or certified varieties alone does not significantly impact farmers’ technical efficiency. The impact of sustainable land management practices remains small but significant. However, combining both types of innovations significantly improves farmers’ performance. Thus, to improve farmers’ technical efficiency, the simultaneous adoption of these technologies should be favored, given their complementary nature.}}
