<p>China is one of the world’s largest citrus producers; however, its production is threatened by climate change. Both citrus quality and productivity are sensitive to changes in different climatic factors, which ultimately affect their technical efficiency. Therefore, this study examined the strategies employed by citrus farmers to mitigate the impacts of climate change on their farms. Furthermore, the study explored the role of these adopted strategies in the technical efficiency of citrus farms. Data collected from Chinese citrus farmers through a&#xa0;multistage purposive and simple random sampling technique were analyzed using stochastic frontier analysis. The mean technical efficiency score of citrus growers was 0.64, indicating that citrus farmers have an opportunity to increase their citrus production by 36% with the same level of inputs. The findings showed that a&#xa0;1% increase in the adoption of climate-smart orchard management strategies by citrus farmers can lead to a&#xa0;5% increase in farm production. Similarly, a&#xa0;1% increase in the adoption of technological and infrastructure innovations can result in a&#xa0;3% increase in citrus production. The technical efficiency scores of the citrus farmers ranged from 0.30 to 0.98. The results also showed that education level, orchard age, extension services, market contracts, government support, and Internet use play a&#xa0;significant role in the technical efficiency of citrus farmers. In view of these insights, it is recommended that the government should strengthen and expand climate-resilient insurance schemes for citrus farmers to enhance their technical efficiency. Such policy interventions would contribute toward improving technical efficiency and overall productivity within the citrus sector.</p>
