Abstract:
A two-stage DEA method was specified to estimate apple production efficiency and to explore the determinants of cost efficiency.The data originated from a face-to-face interview of apple growers in Shaanxi province.The DEA results indicated that a large space to improve the cost efficiency of apple growers existed in Shaanxi.The second-stage estimation results revealed that the negotiation cost had negatively significant effects on cooperative member’s cost efficiency.Meanwhile，the apple farm experience of grower and information costs had positively significant effect on the cost efficiency of non-cooperative members，whereas the transportation cost was negatively related to the cost efficiency of non-members in cooperatives.
