Abstract: The static and dynamic analysis of agricultural production efficiency in 17 cities in Shandong province in 2012， 2014 and 2016 was carried out using the DEA-Malmquist model. The results show that the agricultural production input and output in some areas of Shandong province are at their best， and the technical efficiency and scale efficiency are low in a few areas， and the redundancy and insufficient output are serious. The increase in total factor productivity of agricultural production is mainly due to the combination of technological progress and scale efficiency. On this basis， suggestions for strengthening agricultural technology innovation and promotion， rational and effective integration of resources， and modest expansion of agricultural production scale are proposed， in order to provide a useful reference for the improvement of agricultural production efficiency in Shandong province.

Key words: total factor productivity, technical efficiency, scale efficiency, Shandong province
