## Abstract
Agricultural efficiency is a key contributor to agricultural productivity growth and the efficient allocation of resources in the economy. Studies in agricultural efficiency literature have focused on determining if farmers have been using resources more efficiently by applying the best technological and managerial practices from existing stock of knowledge.Meanwhile, the calculation of Agricultural efficiency is rather complicated and not easy for common people. The paper describes how to design and build a mobile-based app for farmers who would exhaustively help them in the calculation of agricultural efficiency and then studies the effect on rural communities. The aim of study are: 1) To design and develop an android app which can analyze agricultural efficiency; 2) Analyzing the results of trials and evaluating the android app that has been made to horticultural farming on rural communities. The method to build this mobile app is prototyping consist of 4 steps: 1) to identify the user's basic requirements; 2) to develop an initial prototype; 3) to use the prototype; 4) to revise and enhance the prototype. The app is socialized and used on rural communities. The conclusion are: the efficiency app can be one of the solutions to facilitate policy-making in farming activities, and make forecasting profit of farming; android app is proven to produce an agricultural app program that is mobile and has an attractive interface; the loss in agricultural field can be avoided; the app helps farmers to determine the fixed and variable cost of farming.
