Efficiency Evaluation of Agricultural Informatization Based on CCR and Super-Efficiency DEA Model

In this research, we want to evaluate the efficiency of input / output in agricultural informatization (AI) and the redundancy of AI by using DEA method. An index system evaluating the input and output in agricultural informatization was built with the support of CCR Model and Super-efficiency DEA Model, which contains 9 indices. We processed the data of agricultural informatization in Huaihua and Xiangxi, two areas in Hunan province, with DEMP and EMS software and analyzed the efficiency of agricultural informatization in different 5 years and figure out the tendency of developing status in AI from 2009 to 2013. The results show that the CRSTE, VRSTE, SCALE efficiency of AI in two areas is efficient and the inputs and outputs about AI in 2009 and 2011 have spaces of improving. In general, the developing tendency of AI efficiency in two areas is stable in these years even though they are not developed areas in agricultural informatization. The index system of AI evaluation in this research could be better and reliable in future if we get more data and add more indices in it, but it is hard for us now to get more data because of the limitation of incomplete statistical data released by local governments.
