      abstract = {This is one of the first empirical studies to estimate the  technical efficiency of farmers’ flue-cured tobacco  production, and explore the influencing factor of technical  inefficiency on the perspective of within effects and  between effects, aiming to provide a basic evaluation of  farmers’ flue-cured tobacco production, and promote  producers optimize their production. Results showed that  the average technical efficiency level of flue-cured  tobacco farmers was 0.7685; the scale elasticity was 2.67.  Our study also revealed that the variation of farm  household factors contributed 80.07% to technical  inefficiency, and the other could be attributed to the  variation of regional factors. Technical inefficiency of  flue-cured tobacco production was significantly relative to  producers’ education, planting scales, and planting years.  In addition, regional disaster increased the possibility of  technical inefficiency, while subsidies from flue-cured  tobacco companies and government were to benefit reducing  the technical inefficiency.},
