Analysis Of Agricultural Environmental Efficiency And Environmental Total Factor Productivity In Taiwan

With the modernization of agriculture,it exerts more and more influences on the environment.The inappropriate use of fertilizers and pesticides pollute the agricultural non-point source,impacting the sustainable development of agriculture.Inevitably,pursuing economic efficiency blindly and neglecting the cost of environment will result in the deformed development of agriculture.The 19 th CPC National Congress describes that the strengthening of a green development mode and the soil pollution control as well as the prevention and control of agricultural nonpoint source pollution,is required by the construction of ecological civilization;and the No.1 Document of the Central Committee in 2019 points out that the control of rural pollution and agricultural non-point source pollution should be strengthened.To respond to the strategic call of the Party and the government,this paper takes the provincial perspective of agricultural environmental governance in China as the breakthrough point,and regards Taiwan's agriculture,with high development level in China,as the research scope,and selects rice,the representative of Taiwan's agriculture,as the research object,aiming to extract the experience of agricultural development and environmental governance from a provincial perspective for reference.The production data from 2000 to 2017 in Annual Report of Agricultural Statistics,Survey Report of Rice Production and the website of General Accounting Office of Taiwan was extracted for this study,the pollution factors were attached in the analysis framework of productivity,and the rice production in Taiwan was analyzed from both dynamic and static dimensions through measuring environmental efficiency and environmental total factor productivity with DEA.Among the results,the technological efficiency of rice production in Taiwan was 0.96,while the environmental efficiency was only 0.71,demonstrating that the improvement of rice production efficiency was one of the directions of rice industry development in Taiwan in terms of environmental protection;only when the efficiency of technology and nutrition allocation is improved simultaneously can the environmental efficiency of rice production be improved comprehensively;regional development should be coordinated due to the differences in rice production efficiency and growth among different regions affect the overall productivity of Taiwan;the level of total factor productivity can be better reflected when the environment is taken into account,while the efficiency of technology and technological improvement are the major impetuses.In accordance with the results of the research,the paper extracts the experience and enlightenment of agricultural development in Taiwan from some aspects,including accelerate the establishment of a new promotion system of agricultural technology,increase technological input in agricultural production,promote the improvement of agricultural production modes,coordinate the regional coordinated development of agriculture and promote the supply-side reform of agriculture continuously,aiming to provide effective reference for agricultural environmental governance in China from a provincial perspective.
