Abstract: By calculating the technical efficiency of the main apple producing provinces from 2004 to 2018,and analyzing its change trend and influencing factors, the growth points of the technical efficiency of apple production could be explored.On the basis of using the stochastic frontier production function model to calculate the production technology efficiency, the efficiency loss model was further constructed to analyze the influencing factors.The results showed that the average value of apple production technical efficiency in China was 0.797 7 and the interannual change showed an upward trend, but the change range was small.From a regional perspective, Shandong Province and Henan Province had a larger technical efficiency base, while Gansu Province and Liaoning Province had a higher average annual growth rate of technical efficiency.The results of influencing factor analysis showed that the density of highway network and the price of apple in the previous period had a significant negative impact on the technical non efficiency item, while the farmyard manure utilization ratio and disaster ratio had a positive impact on the technical non efficiency item.The improvement effect of overall apple production technical efficiency in China was not obvious, and there were great differences in regional technical efficiency.The density of highway network and the price of apples in the previous period had a positive effect on the improvement of efficiency, and the farmyard manure utilization ratio and disaster ratio had a restrictive effect on the improvement of efficiency.
