Abstract:
A dynamic and static efficiency analysis of the distribution of agricultural products in China from 2010 to 2020 was performed using the DEA-BCC model and the DEA-Malmquist index method.Compared with previous studies, this study provided a comprehensive review of the efficiency evaluation system of agricultural product distribution.It redefined relevant input and output indicators and constructs an evaluation framework that included fixed capital input, labour input, transportation infrastructure and other factors that influence the efficiency of agricultural product circulation.Using data envelopment analysis, the study found that the efficiency of agricultural product circulation in all 31 provinces and municipalities in China needed further improvement at both the national and regional levels.Technical factors were identified as the main veuson of low efficiency in agricultural product circulation, with redundancy observed in capital and transport inputs.This finding was confirmed by subsequent Tobit regression analysis, combined with an examination of influencing factors, leading to the formulation of relevant recommendations for the efficient development of agricultural product distribution in China.
