Empirical Analysis on the Efficiency of Tobacco Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation in Qujing Based on Malmquist Index

Using Malmquist index method of the nonparametric DEA Models, this paper calculated the efficiency of tobacco agricultural science and technology innovation during 2006 to 2015 period in 9 counties of Qujing, and compared the inter annual fluctuation of tobacco total factor productivity and difference from different tobacco planting area nearly a decade in Qujing. The results show that: in 2006-2015,the average growth rate of tobacco agricultural science and technology innovation efficiency was 5% in Qujing, the average growth rate of technical progress was about 4.8%.From 9 counties, the average total factor productivity of tobacco agricultural production is above 1 in Qujing. In addiction to Xuanwei tobacco agricultural science and technology innovation growth rate fell 2%, the other counties tobacco agricultural science and technology innovation efficiency growth rate achieved positive growth, especially the Qilin district grew the fastest, reaching 11%. Generally speaking, technical progress was the main factor to promote the efficiency of tobacco agricultural science and technology innovation in Qujing.
