Abstract

Based on the goal of income increasing, this research uses the DEA-BCC model under the input and the output orientation to estimate the differences and changes in the technical efficiency of wheat production by farmers of different scales based on the survey data of 1669 farmers’ wheat production from China’s main wheat-producing regions. Results showed that there are significant differences in the technical efficiency of farmer’s wheat production and the optimal scale of efficiency under the input and the output orientation. The relationship between farmers’ planting scale and efficiency is characterized by U-shaped curves and inverted U-shaped curves respectively. The wheat production technical efficiency of farmers in most major grain production areas is in a DEA ineffective state, and agricultural technical efficiency needs to be improved.
