On Farmer Household Management Organization

The success of the household contract responsibility system lies in reconstruction of individual farmer economy, establishment of a set of effective encouraging mechanism, relieved productivity, and the micro-foundation for future agricultural development and the fast-developing national economy with the city-country industrialization developing at the same time. However, many problems in agriculture and villages could not be resolved by the household contract responsibility system, especially when the farmer income growth is slow-moving, the income margin between the city and the country extends continuously, the small-scale operating pattern of the farmer household could not adapt to the request of the greater market. The reason does not lie in the household contract responsibility system itself, but more in the low farmer household organization system. Therefore, an innovative organization system has to be carried on. The farmer household management takes the farmer household as the subject, agriculture the object, in guiding farmer households to carry on organization innovation to make the agriculture industry and farmer households organized. From agricultural production and management as a whole, disadvantaged position of individual farmer household in the marketplace could be changed through industrialized agricultural operation and specialized farmer cooperation, which must be the result of the cost and gain principle of system innovation. Owing to a general emphasis on the research into the motive and gain of organization innovation of farmer management, and a neglect of the level of organization innovation, development mechanism organization and an analysis in regard to the relation with agricultural industrialization, the deeper reason underlining the slow progress in organization innovation of farmer management in China could hardly be revealed.Against such a background, this thesis puts forward an interactive growth and development model, cost digestion and countermeasures for organization of farmer household management on the basis of theoretical analysis and practical testing of organization level, internal mechanism and affecting factors of organization innovation of farmer household management, on the target of extending and the farming agriculture industry chain, pushing forward a modern agriculture development and promoting the farmer income increase, starting from farmer households, looking at farmer household management, following land system change in rural China, focusing on the market, industrialized agricultural management and farmer household cooperation management, on the basis of analyzing content, function, right and arrangement system of farmer household management, farmer household management organization, along an analytical way of village economic system to farmer household management behavior and its results to behavior choice of farmer household management organization to set up farmer household management organization system, basing on industrialization organization, cooperative economy theories, together with the latest research findings from home and abroad, through on-the-spot investigations and combining theories with practice, taking advantage of system change and innovation theories of systematic economics. This thesis includes seven chapters, the brief contents of each part is as follows:Chapter 1, Introduction, deals with the background, target and importance, relevant research findings at home and abroad, and planning, methods and possible innovation of the research.Chapter 2, Theoretical Background of Farmer Household Organization, carries out a detailed analysis as regards connotation, nature, function of farmer household and its management in China, defines farmer management organization, compares the similarity and difference between farmer household organization and farmer household organization system, further elaborates the content, necessity, feasibility, content and relevant theories of farmer household organization to lay the theoretical foundation for further analyses in the following chapters.Chapter 3, Behavioral Analysis of Farmer Household Management on the Basis of Land System Change in Rural China, carries out specific analysis as to behavioral pattern and deep-level reasons for the low agricultural industrialization and farmer household organization in modern China through property and distribution system arrangement in rural land change, and their effects on farmer household management and benefits on the basis of industrialization organization theories.Chapter 4, Development and Implication of Farmer Household Organization, reveals the fact that because of the lack of organization links between farmer households, agricultural industrialization links could not extend or develop steadily to form an industrialized agricultural management pattern that is most suitable to the Chinese reality on the basis of an analysis of the connotation, influencing factors, pattern and operating mechanism of industrialized agricultural management.Chapter 5, Cultivation of Industrialized Agricultural Management Organization, concentrates on a detailed analysis of the connotation, internal and operating conditions of industrialized agricultural management organization, summarizes its form in China today, investigates and assesses its internal operating mechanism and adaptability, concludes the reason why industrial chains of agriculture could not extend and develop steadily, and formulates a general developmental pattern of"the leader enterprise + the agricultural product profession association + professional cooperation organization + professional association+ farmer household"that is most suitable to the Chinese realities for industrialized agricultural management organization.Chapter 6, Construction of Specialized Farmer Cooperation Economic Organization System, puts forward a developmental pattern of"Professional association→professional cooperation organization→agricultural product profession association"of specialized economic cooperation organization system of the farmer that is progressive at different levels after detailed analysis concerning the connotation, type, developmental trend and inevitability of special economic cooperation organization of the farmer, careful international comparison of cooperation organization principles, and in-depth investigation of internal operation mechanism and external border of special cooperation organization of the farmer in the form of special farmer societies and special cooperative unions.Chapter 7, Integration of Farmer Household Management Organization, suggests an interactive growth pattern that could promote the development of farmer household management organization in China and establish a long-term mechanism in regard to income increase of the farmer on the basis of Chapters 5 and 6, and puts forward ways and countermeasures concerning farmer household management organization development in China on the basis of empirical analysis.
