Empirical Study on Rice Production Efficiency of Fujian Province

Based on DEA-Malmquist index and correlation coefficient method,the statistical data of rice production cost and profit from 2002 to 2013 were selected to comparatively analyze the rice production efficiency between Fujian province,the national average level and the other five main producing provinces.The results showed that the cost profit rate of Fujian province is much lower than the national average level.The total factor productivity(TFP)change of rice production in Fujian was mainly due to technical advances,and the TFP change of national rice production depended on both efficiency variation and technical advances.The TFP,synthesis technique efficiency and technical advances in Fujian were all lower than the national average level,and the TFP and technical advances in Fujian province showed larger fluctuation.
