Abstract:

This paper uses the DEA-Malmquist index approach based on output orientated model to measure the TFP and TEC of tabacco farmers' cooperative in Shaanxi province. Then an impact factor index system based on Tobit model is established and analyzed regressively, and on this basis the relevant policy suggestions for sustainable development of the farmers' cooperative are put forward. The study finds that although the tobacco farmers' cooperative in Shaanxi province has a good performance, an inherent risk exists as evidenced by the lack of sustainable development momentum a reasonable endogenous mechanism. This paper puts forward suggestions for the development of tobacco industry and the management of tobacco farmers' cooperatives in Shaanxi province based on the empirical findings and the demand of supply-side structural reform. Finally, this paper proposes to make efforts in integrating resources to improve the efficiency; ensuring the validity of the cooperative function; improving the training of administrators; controlling the size of the cooperative; and avoiding excessive alienation.

Key words: supply-side structural reform, tobacco farmers' cooperative, efficiency evaluation, DEA-Malmquist index approach
