Based on provincial panel data in the Yellow River Basin from 2012 to 2021,calculate the green total factor productivity of agricul-ture in the basin using the Global Malmquist Lunberger model,and empirically analyze the impact of digital inclusive finance on the green total factor productivity of agriculture in the basin.The results indicate that:① The green total factor productivity of agriculture in the Yellow River Basin is showing an increasing trend,with an average annual growth rate of 2.5%.Among various regions,the average green total factor pro-ductivity of downstream agriculture is the highest,the middle reaches are the lowest,and the upstream is at the middle level.Among all prov-inces(regions),only Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has an average agricultural green total factor productivity of less than 1,mainly due to the phenomenon of technological progress being hindered,resulting in a decline in overall agricultural green production technology.The av-erage green total factor productivity of agriculture in other provinces(regions)is greater than 1,and only Shanxi Province has the problem of poor technology transformation and low technology transformation efficiency.② The total index of digital inclusive finance,coverage breadth,depth of use,and degree of digitization have significant positive effects on the overall agricultural green total factor productivity,technological progress index,and technological efficiency index in the Yellow River Basin.The total index of digital inclusive finance and the degree of digi-tization index have significant positive impacts on upstream,midstream,and downstream,while the coverage breadth index and depth of use index have significant positive impacts on midstream and downstream,while the positive impact on upstream is not significant.
