There is an export productivity paradox in Chinese enterprises, with a negative growth trend in agricultural TFP. Technical progress plays a significant role in the changes of China's agricultural enterprises' TFP.
There is an export productivity paradox in Chinese enterprises, which has been confirmed in agricultural enterprises. This paper attempts to explain this phenomenon from the perspective of the components of TFP. This paper uses the SFA-Malmquist method to decompose and compare the TFP of China's agricultural export enterprises based on the data of the state-level leading agricultural enterprises from 2016 to 2017. The conclusions are as follows: firstly, China's agricultural TFP shows a negative growth trend, and the growth rate of TFP of agricultural export enterprises is less than that of agricultural non-exported enterprises; secondly, the growth rate of TFP of grain and animal husbandry export enterprises is less than that of non-export enterprises; the growth rate of TFP of private agricultural export enterprises is lower than that of non-export enterprises of the same type; the growth rate of TFP of export enterprises in eastern and western regions is lower than that of non-export enterprises; and thirdly, technical progress is an important reason for the change of TFP of China's agricultural enterprises. However, compared with agricultural non-exported enterprises, improving the technical efficiency of enterprises can more promote the TFP of agricultural export enterprises.
