The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of agricultural promotion measures on the total factor productivity (TFP) of wheat. The study used province-level pooled data from 1999 to 2015 and estimates the TFP and its relation with the agricultural promotion measures. The results show that the trend of wheat TFP since 2004 seems to accelerate. Furthermore, estimation results revealed that subsidies and support on agricultural investment for water supply improvement have significantly contributed to the improved TFP.
