Abstract:

To study the farmland production efficiency of different planting patterns in Chengdu Plain, based on the survey data of 92 households in 13 towns of Pidu District, Chengdu City in 2017, the DEA-Tobit model was used to analyze the farmland production efficiency and the influence factors of the paddy-upland rotation and dry farming patterns in Pidu District. The results showed that the average farmland production efficiency of different planting patterns was 0.793. The order of the farmland production efficiency of different patterns was vegetable succession cropping or crop rotation (0.957), rice-garlic crop rotation (0.847), rice-rape crop rotation (0.782), succession cropping of leeks (0.759), rice-vegetable crop rotation (0.722) and rice-round root radish crop rotation (0.689). The reason why farmland production efficiency did not reach valid value 1 was mainly owing to lower scale efficiency. At the same time, the redundancies of capital and labor input were existed in all the patterns, and the output of rice-vegetable crop rotation and rice-rape crop rotation patterns were insufficient. The factors affecting the farmland production efficiency were different, and the policy factor had a relatively large effect on the efficiency. In order to further improve the farmland production efficiency in Pidu District, it is recommended to appropriately promote the large-scale operation of farmland, strengthen the transfer of surplus rural labor and improve various agricultural policy measures.
