Vegetable Production Efficiency and Influencing Factors in Fujian Province

Fujian, a province with large vegetable production, possesses good location and climate advantages, with which the development of vegetable industry in Fujian was not yet consistent. Empirical analysis on vegetable production capital and input-output was conducted with DEA-BCC based on 300 questionnaires from vegetable growers in 5 cities of Fujian, and three factors were considered, including characteristics of farmers and their family, vegetable production conditions and restriction, and the corresponding policy. The results showed that the resources allocation ability and resources utilization efficiency of vegetable growers were generally not high. The vegetable production efficiency was affected by the grower's education level, growing technology, logistic system, agricultural insurance, and so on.
