Abstract:
To explore the efficiency of high-efficiency agriculture in the suburbs of Xi’an City, the paper analyzed the economic, social and ecological benefits of grape industry and the vegetable industry, taking the wheat and corn as a reference. The results showed that the net profit per unit area, cost-profit rate and economic output-to-output ratio of grapes and vegetable industry were all higher than those of crops. The vegetable industry can also effectively absorb rural labor and promote employment. The positive ecological benefits of the grape industry are better than that of wheat-corn, but the amount of fertilizer applied exceeds the crop demand which has caused more serious environmental pollution than that of wheat-corn. The ecological benefits of vegetable-based facilities are lower than that of wheat-corn. In conclusion, high-efficiency agriculture in outskirts Xi’an has high economic and social benefits, but excessive use of chemical fertilizer limits the ecological benefits.
