Title: Efficiency Analysis Based on Regional Specialized Production of Grain in China
Abstract: Specialized grain production areas in China include 15 provinces,municipalities and autonomous regions.They are Jilin,Heilongjiang and Liaoning in northeastern China,Beijing,Shanxi,Hebei and Anhui in eastern and central China and Inner Mongolia,Sichuan,Chongqing,Yunnan,Ningxia,Shaanxi,Gansu and Tibet in western China.Only Jilin,Heilongjiang and Tibet have a high technical efficiency,which have reached 1.The regions whose technical efficiency is lower than the average are mostly located in the western part of the country,with Shaanxi Province having the lowest technical efficiency(0.524).The scale efficiency of grain production of China averages 0.957.Of the 31 provinces,municipalities and autonomous regions of the country,only Jilin,Heilongjiang,Tibet and Shanghai have the optimal scale efficiency.Confronted with the present food shortage in the world,improving the technical efficiency and achieving the scale management of land are of great significance for China to solve her food problem.
