Based on the cost-benefit data of japonica rice production in China’s japonica rice regions and 12 major japonica rice producing provinces from 2004 to 2020,this article analyzes the input-output situation of Jilin Province’s japonica rice production,and uses the DEA-Malmquist index method to calculate the productivity of Jilin Province’s japonica rice production.The results show that the total factor productivity of Jilin Province’s japonica rice fluctuates frequently on an annual basis,mainly due to technological progress rather than technical efficiency.From 2005 to 2020,the average total factor productivity of japonica rice was 0.979,which is higher than the national average level of japonica rice production areas,but ranks 10th among the 12 major japonica rice producing provinces,which is at a lower level.Therefore,Jilin Province’s japonica rice production needs to further optimize resource allocation,strengthen technological and technological support,and improve the level of moderate scale operation to improve the efficiency of japonica rice production.
