Research On Efficiency And Its Influencing Factors Of Agricultural Product Processing Industry In Anhui Province

Anhui Province is a major agricultural province.The development of agricultural product processing industry has profound practical significance for the development of high quality and efficient agriculture,accelerating the modernization of agriculture,and promoting the deep integration of rural industries.Improving production efficiency can achieve sustainable development of the industry.Studying the efficiency of Anhui agricultural product processing industry conforms to the needs of China's supply-side structural reform,and is an important way to realize a well-off society in an all-round way,which has practical significance.Based on the theory of total factor productivity,this paper analyzes the present situation of agricultural product processing industry in Anhui province,uses DEA and Malmquist index method to measure efficiency,and constructs panel data model to explore the influencing factors of efficiency.Main research conclusions:(1)The agricultural product processing industry in Anhui Province is developing rapidly,but its strength is weak compared with neighboring provinces.Agricultural and sideline food processing industry,rubber and plastic products industry,textile and garment industry,textile industry,the output value of the top four,the sum of its output value accounts for 60%of the agricultural products processing industry in Anhui Province.(2)In 2005-2017,the average total factor productivity of agricultural products processing industry in Anhui Province was 0.865,the production efficiency was not high,the pure technical efficiency was close to 1,and the average scale efficiency was 0.874.The TFP of the agricultural product processing industry in Anhui Province has been greatly improved,mainly driven by technological progress.(3)There are differences in the total factor productivity of the 12 sub-sectors,most of which are in the ineffective state of DEA,and the overall efficiency caused by low technical efficiency is low.The TFP of the sub-industry is increasing,and the main reason for the growth is technological progress.(4)The TFP of the agricultural product processing industry in Anhui Province is 0.725,which is higher than the neighboring five provinces.(5)Changes in the scale of enterprises,foreign direct investment,agricultural level,and economic growth rate have a significant positive impact on the TFP growth rate of agricultural product processing industry.The growth of labor quality is significantly negatively correlated.In statistical terms,R&D investment and industrial agglomeration have no significant impact on the agricultural product processing industry TFP in Anhui Province.In view of this,several suggestions are put forward:speed up the cultivation of large-scale leading enterprises,increase R&D investment,pay attention to talent introduction,staff training and training,actively cultivate agricultural product processing industry clusters,vigorously attract investment,and make full use of FDI.Strengthening ties with agriculture,companies make full use of external economic conditions.
