Abstract: Green production technology is of great significance to the high-quality development of agriculture and rural revitalization. Based on the survey data of tea growers in Fujian Province, the paper empirically analyzed the effect of green production technology adoption on Farmers' income and its mechanism by using endogenous transformation model. The results show that:(1) the adoption of green production technology can significantly improve the income level of tea farmers. The annual total income of the tea farmers who have adopted green production technology could be increased by 32.60%. (2) Green production technology could have complementary effect. Tea farmers who have used both organic fertilizer and bio pesticide could get far greater family income than those who have only adopted one the two green production technologies. (3) From the perspective of mechanism, the adoption of green production technology makes tea obtain higher market price, and tea farmers are committed to expanding their planting area in order to obtain scale effect. In view of above, the government should strengthen the policy support for the promotion and application of green production technology, especially to encorage the joint promotion of a number of green production technologies, and strengthen the construction of green technology team.

Key words: agricultural green production technology, farmers' income, endogenous transformation regression model (ESR)
