Influence of livestock and poultry forbidden area policy on cost efficiency of beef cattle breeding
Based on the panel data of 30 provincial administrative regions from 2011 to 2021,this paper empirically tests the impact of the livestock and poultry forbidden zone policy on the cost efficiency of beef cattle breeding in China with the help of double difference model.The results showed that the policy of the livestock and poultry forbidden zone had an obvious promotion effect on the cost efficiency of the beef cattle breeding industry in China,and the influence degree was 0.074.Transportation infrastructure,farmers'investment level,beef cattle slaughter rate,and economic development level all had a significant positive impact on the cost efficiency of beef cattle breeding,and transportation infrastructure had the strongest positive promotion effect.There are obvious regional differences in the impact of livestock and poultry forbidden area policy on the cost efficiency of beef cattle breeding,which was manifested in the stronger promotion effect on ordinary beef cattle producing areas.Therefore,the paper puts forward some policy suggestions,such as rationally delineating livestock and poultry forbidden areas,accelerating the improvement of transportation infrastructure and developing beef cattle breeding industry according to local conditions,so as to provide a useful reference for accelerating the high-quality development of the beef cattle breeding industry.
