Introduction Digital transformation (DT) refers to the process of leveraging digital technologies drive innovation in business models, thereby enabling enterprises create greater value and deliver innovative solutions for efficient agricultural production. Methods Using data from 211 listed companies China 2009 2022, this study investigates impact pathways through which DT influences financial performance (FP), employing a range methodologies. To enhance text mining accuracy, research incorporates natural language processing (NLP) large models (LLM). Results The findings indicate that within enterprises’ production, purchasing, sales departments significantly enhances FP. address potential endogeneity concerns, robustness checks were conducted using propensity score matching (PSM), Heckman two-stage model, least squares (2SLS) method. Mechanism analysis reveals improves FP three primary channels: reducing expenses, easing cost stickiness, promoting breakthrough innovation. However, positive effects exhibit heterogeneity. These are more pronounced non-state-owned enterprises, larger firms, located major grain-producing regions. Conclusion This validates necessity use technology improve age. By expanding measurement methods DT, provides valuable insights seeking leverage tools optimize production efficiency.
