It seems like your compounded error term is normal. In this case there is no evidence of inefficiency (i.e all firms are technically efficient). Alternatives are: 1) change model specification; 2) try a different SF model (see -ssc describe sfpanel-).

I have output as a dependent variable and each labor, fertilizer, land, seed and capital as independent variables. What makes me worry is that, for each province I have the same value of the technical efficiency for all the years and all the values are between 0.99-1.0 which is hard to believe.
