Abstract

Based on the input-output data of flue-cured tobacco production in 18 provinces of China from 2005 to 2016, the flue-cured tobacco production efficiency was calculated and analyzed. The results show that: Firstly, the total factor productivity (TFP) of flue-cured tobacco in China shows a growth trend, the main reason of the growth is the growth of the scale efficiency. The pure technical efficiency and the technical progress play a negative role to the promotion of total factor productivity. Secondly, in the provinces where total factor productivity declines, the leading factors of total factor productivity declines are different. For the provinces where total factor productivity increases, the leading factor of total factor productivity growth is the improvement of technical efficiency. Thirdly, the change of annual total factor productivity growth rate is unstable because of the uncoordinated change of technological progress and technological efficiency. We can improve the flue-cured tobacco productivity by large-scale production, improving management level, introducing advanced production technology and strengthening technological innovation.
