Understanding the efficiency of agricultural eco-product value realization is critical for sustainable development and regional equity. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis spatiotemporal patterns disparities in ecological products across China’s 31 provinces from 2010 to 2022. Utilizing an advanced Super-NSBM model, quantify three dimensions efficiency: overall realization, economic conversion, social welfare realization. Spatial mapping dynamic evolution are conducted through Dagum Gini coefficient decomposition conditional kernel density estimation. Our results reveal key insights: (1) remains suboptimal, with gradual upward trend. Economic conversion outperforms which exhibits significant heterogeneity. A distinct east–west gradient observed, Western regions demonstrating notable progress despite initial inefficiencies. (2) Inter-regional narrowing, particularly between Eastern Central regions. While polarization Northeast China has diminished, show widening gaps emerging trends. (3) Regional differences predominantly driven by inter-group disparities, exhibiting lowest intra-regional variability. Cross-regional follow U-shaped trajectory, decreasing initially before rebounding recent years. These findings provide robust empirical foundation optimizing strategies product offer insights addressing spatial inequities development.
