Study on Production Efficiency of Mountain Flue-cured Tobacco Family Farm Based on DEA
In order to clarify the production and organization mode of family farm of flue-cured tobacco which is suitable for the present situa-tion of mountainous rural areas,based on the dependence of farms on social services and the differences in the functions of farmers,the family farms of flue-cured tobacco in the mountainous areas of Ankang were divided into four types.They were pattern 1(investment management fami-ly farm),pattern 2(investment management family farm),pattern 3(investment management family farm),and pattern 4(investment family farm).The typical investigation method was used to conduct the distribution tracing investigation,DEA,descriptive statistics and analysis of va-riance were used to compare management efficiency,input structure and production efficiency of the four models.The results showed that:The higher the dependence on social services,the lower the operating net profit margin and production efficiency.From mode 1 to mode 4,the oper-ating net profit margin is 26.14%,21.29%,14.75%,9.51%,and the comprehensive technical efficiency is 0.78,0.53,0.36,0.21,respec-tively,the net income of unit area is 18 082.82,13 570.52,10 084.05,4 740.42 yuan in turn.The input redundancy and output deficiency of each mode are calculated by Frontier Analysis,which provides a path to improve production efficiency.Mode 2 was the best mode of production organization.Mode 3 was the future direction of development.The important measures to improve the production efficiency of flue-cured tobacco farms in mountainous areas were to establish the benefit link mechanism with the professional managers and leaders of the farms,and to sign the stable supply and marketing agreement with the suppliers,carry out classified differentiation management for ordinary workers.
