Rural infrastructure construction has played an important role in targeted poverty alleviation, and the rational and efficient use of rural infrastructure is the key to further realizing rural revitalization. In this paper, super-efficiency DEA method was used to analyze the impact efficiency of rural infrastructure on farmers' income increase in 33 districts and counties of four prefectures in Southern Xinjiang during 2014 to 2019, and the following conclusions were drawn:1) The effect efficiency of rural infrastructure on farmers' income increase in Southern Xinjiang has not been effective and needs to be improved. 2) There are significant regional differences in the impact efficiency of rural infrastructure on farmers' income, and areas with better natural conditions, higher per capita income and larger village population have higher impact efficiency. 3) The impact efficiency growth is not stable, and the fluctuation of technological progress is the main reason for the instability of efficiency growth. In terms of policy, we should focus on promoting the construction of rural infrastructure in low-efficiency areas, strengthening the management, maintenance and supervision of rural infrastructure, and actively guiding farmers to use rural infrastructure, so as to realize the continuous and stable improvement of the efficiency of rural infrastructure on increasing farmers' income and accelerating the rural revitalization.
