The Research on Technical Efficiency and Influence Factors of Chinese Cabbage Production in China

초록

This paper aims to explore the changes in the technical efficiency of Chinese cabbage production and its influencing factors. This paper uses 216 sample data from 2012 to 2019 in China's 27 provinces to construct a Trans-log production function model based on the theoretical basis of technical efficiency. The analysis results show that the Chinese cabbage's average production technical efficiency is 0.880, and there is a significant loss of technical efficiency. Furthermore, there is a big difference in the level of technical efficiency of Chinese cabbage production in various regions. The average technical efficiency from high to low is in Northeastern China, Eastern China, Northwestern China, Northern China, Central China, Southwestern China, and Southern China. The technical efficiency of Chinese cabbage in large agricultural provinces and more developed regions is generally higher. At the same time, the chemical fertilizer input and temperature positively affect the technical efficiency of Chinese cabbage production. In contrast, the disaster area harms the improvement of technical efficiency. Therefore, this paper puts forward suggestions to develop the scale of Chinese cabbage production, ensuring the quality and safety of Chinese cabbage production, and strengthening technology promotion. All this is based on the analysis results expected to promote the high-quality development of China's Chinese cabbage industry.
