Abstract: As the largest egg producer and consumer, China has been playing an increasingly important role in the world egg industry. Due to rapid economic growth and consumer’s increasing demand, China’s laying hen industry is undergoing structural structure changes and many challenges. The stochastic meta-frontier (SMF) approach is used to examine the technical efficiency (TE), technology gap ratio (TCR), and meta-technical efficiency (MTE) of laying hen production in China from 2011 to 2020. The results show that although TE fluctuated irregularly during that period, TGR and MTE of large and middle-sized laying hen farms all showed an increasing trend. The regional differences in TE, TGR, and MTE are significant: the Northeast region is relatively higher than the other regions, and the Western is always the lowest; Heilongjiang takes the lead in the Northeast, while some provinces such as Guangdong and Hainan in the Eastern region are always at the bottom. Accordingly, some policy recommendations are put forward for achieving a competitive egg industry with high efficiency.
