Analysis of benefits and efficiency in potato production in S Province
The input-output data of potato in S Province from 2011 to 2022 were selected,and the data envelop analysis method was used to explore their production benefits and efficiency.The results showed that the overall cost of potato production in the study area had been increasing year by year,with significant increases in cost elements such as labor,seed,fertilizer,and land transfer;The profit margin fluctuates greatly,indicating a large potential for improvement in production efficiency and output value;Its overall efficiency fluctuates,and there was significant room for improvement in production efficiency;The overall trend of return to scale coefficient was on the rise,and most of them were increasing returns to scale,indicating the need for moderate development of potato scale operations.Based on the current situation of potato production efficiency in the research area,measures to improve quality and efficiency were proposed,including further construction of agricultural infrastructure,promoting full mechanization,accelerating the construction of the industrial chain,and improving social service capabilities,to provided references for the high-quality development of the potato industry.
