Research On Agricultural New Deal And Peasants' Income Growth In The Main Grain Production Area

Policy itself is not the direct factor of production, but the effective policy may affect the agricultural development direction and its efficiency through changing the disposition environments of agricultural production factors and the relative price. The major grain producing areas play a most important role in guaranteeing the national grain security. If there is something wrong with them, the national grain security and the social stability will be in great danger. From1997 to 2003, the increasing rate of the farmer's per capita income never surpassed 5% within 7 year, which is only equivalent to half of the yearly average growth of the city inhabitant's income over the same period. The result is that the rural-urban gap becomes larger and larger. In particular, since 1996 our grain production has reached a record high with partially surplus. The grain price glides down continuously, and the increase of the farmer's income in the major grain producing areas is even slower than the national average. It has brought great threat to the national grain security and the entire social stability. To solve the problems, our new government started the new agricultural policy. The policy takes"three mending one reducing"as the main content, takes"give more, take less and be more flexible"as the main features, and takes"increase grain production steadily, add the peasants'income continuously"as the subject, which provides a good idea to increase the farmers'income (especially the farmers in main production area).Based on the correlative domestic support theories and policy effect in agriculture, the second and third chapter describe the change path and the present characteristics of the peasants'income growth in the major grain producing areas, analyze the factors which can lead to the growth of the farmers'income, and thus put forward to the suggestion for adjusting our domestic agricultural policy. The fourth chapter mainly compares our policy with that in the WTO main members under the WTO agriculture framework agreement.The fifth chapter gives the quantification about the relation between the food subsidy policy and the farmers'income in the major grain producing areas according to 3 types of subsidy, and theoretically analyzes the food direct subsidy policies. The sixth chapter constructs the mathematical model of the relations between agricultural marketing degree and the farmers'income, and put forward the analysis result and the...
