As we all known, China has a large number of population, but there is no enough cultivated land to use. The first thing to solve the problems on having a meal and surviving of 1,300 million people is to improve the agricultural production technology efficiency. With the development of society, agriculture is not only limited to ordinary work, but also depends more on constantly development of science and technology, agricultural production technology efficiency which are as motive force of the development in order to satisfy the growing agriculture needs of our courtry. Agricultural production technology efficiency is primary problem that our country needs solving at present stage. Developing modern agriculture is the primary task of new rural construction of the socialism that were putted forward in succession of central Files No. one for several years which suggested that improving land output rate, resource utilization ratio, agricultural labor productivity and agricultural benefit and competitiveness are main goals of developing modern agriculture, meanwhile, agriculture can't depend on expanding resource input simply again while developing, but should depend on the improvement of technological progress and production technology efficiency more and take the development path of the intension type. This study utilizes the stochastic frontier and meta frontier production function analytical method to examine the regional agricultural production technology efficiency level, carries on vertical and horizontal comparative analysis, resolves regional agricultural production total factor productivity of increase, probes into the contribution to the total factor productivity of agricultural production technology efficiency, summarizes the characteristic of the agricultural production technology efficiency in the area and at last, refines the influence factor of agricultural production technology efficiency which can offer decisions for administrative department of agriculture to consult.The research is divided into the east, middle, west, Sichuan and peasant household levels to calculate agricultural production technology efficiency. It resolves increasing agricultural production the total factor productivity of corresponding region, analyses evolving and regional difference of the agricultural production technology efficiency level, explores the factors that influences the agricultural production technology efficiency of the region and micro peasant household, and divides increased regional complete ratio of factor productivity of agricultural production into four parts:technological progress, change of technological efficiency, scale efficiency and resource allocation efficiency in order to seek the motivational resource of the regional agricultural production total factor productivity growth, and finally probes into the route choice that the agricultural production technology efficiency in the area improving based on the theory and real example analysed.(1)Examined the agricultural production technology efficiency of the east, middle, western using the stochastic frontier analysis and meta frontier analysis method, and using stochastic frontier analysis, examined the agricultural production technology efficiency in Sichuan province, refined the characteristics and laws of the development of agricultural dynamic change of production technology efficiency of east, middle, west and Sichuan province, probes into the influence factor of the regional agricultural production technology efficiency.Utilized the stochastic frontier production function analytical method to examine the regional agricultural production technology efficiency level, according to the agricultural production panel data of the east, middle, west and Sichuan province. On this basis, setted up the meta frontier production function model of the east, middle and west, calculated the regional agricultural production technical gap ratio, examined the agricultural production technology efficiency of meta frontier analysis method, carried on comparative analysis on the regional agricultural production technology efficiency characteristic, analyses evolving and regional difference of the agricultural production technology efficiency level, and then summarized the production technology efficiency's characteristics and laws about the agricultural dynamic change development of the east. middle, western part and Sichuan province.and probes into the influence factor of the regional agricultural production technology efficiency.(2) Setted up peasant household's stochastic frontier production function model-Panel data model, utilized the micro panel data of peasant household of Sichuan province, examined peasant household's agricultural production technology efficiency, probed into the influence factors of the agricultural production technology efficiency of peasant household of Sichuan and finally examined the elasticity of each invest element to the output.Setted up peasant household's stochastic frontier panel production function model, examined peasant households'agricultural production technology efficiency, analysed the distribution difference and temporal change characters of technological efficiency and probed into the main factor which influenced the agricultural production technology efficiency and examined the elasticity of each invest element to the output of peasant household in Sichuan province, according to the panel data that came from the sample survey of agricultural input and output from 2005 to 2007 in Sichuan.(3) Divided the growth rate of the total factor productivity of agricultural production of the east, middle, west. Sichuan, peasant household into four parts:technological progress, change of technological efficiency, scale efficiency and resource allocation efficiency, utilizing the stochastic frontier analysis model. Then analysed the differences that the regional agricultural production technology efficiency change impactted on the growth of the total factor productivity and discussed the convergence property'of the regional growth rate of total factor productivity of agricultural production.The empirical results suggest that, the agricultural production technology efficiency change contributes smaller to the regional total factor productivity from the year of 2000 to 2007, and it is the negative influenced. The technological progress is the source of the regional agricultural total factor productivity. It is technological progress that plays the most important role in the total factor productivity growth, secondly it is efficiency and scale economy of resource distribution, the minimum one is the change of the technological efficiency. The total factor productivity increases of the east is higher than that in the west, and the west is slightly higher than the middle.The influence that technological progress impacts on the total factor productivity growth of the west is slightly higher than that of the middle, and the middle is slightly higher than the east from the view that factors impact on the total factor productivity growth; The influence that technological efficiency change impacts on the total factor productivity growth of the middle is higher than that in the east, and the east is higher than the west. The influence that the change of the scale efficiency impacts on the total factor productivity growth of the middle is higher than that in the west, and the west is slightly higher than the east. The influence that allocative efficiency impacts on the total factor productivity growth.of the west is slightly higher than that in the middle, and the middle is higher than the east. The regional total factor productivity growth rate of agricultural production and technological progress present absolute (3 convergence.(4) On the basis of positive research probed into the choice of the path in which the regional agricultural production technology efficiency improves:Consolidate and strengthen the fundamental position of agriculture, make the effective investment policy according to the regional characteristic of agricultural production, strengthen the financial input power of agricultural infrastructure construction, promote agricultural science and technology innovation and popularize:Meanwhile. Combine regional reality, concentrate on training improving agricultural producer's ability. combining digesting labor force nearby with exportting so as to promote the rural transfer of surplus labor effectively and rationally; At last.Explore the agricultural innovation of mechanism of system actively, perfect the land and circulate in order to advance the appropriate scale of operation.and encourage peasant operate system innovation.
