Analysis of convergence trends and driving factors of environmental efficiency of pig farming in China by Jingjing Wang, Chang'e Zhao, Silin Chen

“…Scale efficiency is still the key to improving the environmental efficiency of pig farming, and in the future, it is necessary to focus on improving pure technical efficiency. (2) The environmental efficiency of pig farming across China’s 30 provinces (including municipalities and autonomous regions) converges to four clubs. Most provinces within constrained development regions and potential growth regions converge to the high-level club, while the disparities in environmental efficiency of pig farming are most pronounced in key development regions. (3) The research results of driving factors show that scale level exhibits a “U-shaped” effect on the convergence of environmental efficiency in pig farming toward high-level clubs in China, and most provinces have surpassed the inflection point. …”
