Abstract: Based on the panel data of 13 major rape producing provinces and the national average input-output from 2004 to 2018, the technical efficiency of rapeseed production in each province was calculated, and the impact of agricultural machinery service level on the technical efficiency of rapeseed production was further explored. The method of transcendental logarithm random frontier analysis was selected to measure the technical efficiency of rape production and estimate its influencing factors. The results showed that there were obvious regional differences in the technical efficiency of rapeseed production in China. Among them, the technical efficiency of rape production in Sichuan, Jiangsu and Qinghai was the highest, and the technical efficiency of rapeseed production in Guizhou, Jiangxi and Yunnan was lower. The proportion of agricultural machinery service had a significant positive impact on the improvement of rape technical efficiency, while the level of financial support for agriculture, RD investment intensity and infrastructure level had a significant positive impact, and the proportion of disaster-affected areas had a significant negative impact. By increasing the input of rape agricultural machinery service, the allocation of input factors could be improved, so as to enhance the technical efficiency of rape production.

Key words: rape, agricultural machinery service, technical efficiency, stochastic frontier analysis
