Abstract
Grain production is vital to the national economy and people's livelihood, and improving grain production efficiency is of great significance to the sustainable development of China's economy and society. From the perspective of financial support, using the DEA global Malmquist productivity index model and based on the data of 13 main grain producing areas in China from 2001 to 2017, this paper discusses the evolution characteristics and regional distribution differences of the total factor productivity index of grain production in China's main grain producing areas. The results show that from 2001 to 2017, the total factor productivity index of grain production in China's main grain producing areas showed an overall fluctuation trend of gradual decline, with an average annual decline of 7.3%. From the perspective of spatial analysis, the grain production efficiency in China's main grain producing areas is characterized by uneven spatial development, which is generally manifested as the decreasing trend from the central region to the eastern and western regions. Meanwhile, it can be seen from the decomposition index that the change of total factor productivity of grain production in China's main grain producing areas mainly depends on the change of technical efficiency.
Highlights
According to the 2018 China Grain Development Report released by the China Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, China’s total grain output in 2017 was 617.91 million tons, with the per capita grain production being 472 kilograms

Summary
According to the 2018 China Grain Development Report released by the China Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, China’s total grain output in 2017 was 617.91 million tons, with the per capita grain production being 472 kilograms. In the foreseeable future, arable land will be under further pressure, and the overall food supply will be severely tested [2] China put forward and implemented the Rural Revitalization Strategy, promoted innovation in rural financial institutions, and ensured the effective and precise supply of funds for agricultural production [12]. The innovation point of this paper is to include agricultural loan into input index from the perspective of financial support, by discussing the evolution characteristics and regional distribution differences of TFP index of grain production in China’s main grain producing areas, it is of great significance to improve the grain production efficiency and social harmony and stability in China’s main grain producing areas [15]. The chapter structure of this paper is as follows: the second chapter introduces the literature of grain production efficiency; the third chapter introduces the model setting, index selection and sample selection, the fourth chapter is the empirical analysis and explanation of grain production efficiency; conclusions and related policy recommendations are explained in the fifth chapter
