The Research In Clustered Development Of Modern Agriculture

The agricultural development in China is at difficult rising stages. Our government adheres to solving issues of agriculture, farmer and rural area as the top priority of the Party, holding that building modern agriculture is the primary objective of pushing forward the construction of a new socialist countryside. However, after nearly twenty years' development, the agricultural industrialization has failed to reach the expected goal, obsessed with the imperfect benefit mechanism, weak competitiveness of leading enterprises, insufficient scientific and technological research funds. Besides establishing essential national policy guarantee mechanism, solving these problems depends on, in a degree, eliminating small-scale farmer economy by development modern agriculture as a breakthrough.The industry cluster, the intermediate organization of industry development between market and enterprises, provides a new insight as a new model. Reforms in modes of agricultural production in foreign countries, developed countries or developing countries, show that changing the present combination of current components, i.e., reform in the agricultural organization system, can also facilitate the development of agricultural economy when the requisites of production cannot be altered within a short period of time. Modern agricultural cluster, as a new form of agricultural industry, is an important innovation in developing rural economy in the new stage. Cluster development is of practical significance in building modern agriculture.The dissertation can be divided into five parts. On the bases of the previous research, it defines basic concepts in the industrial cluster development of modern agriculture, illustrates their theoretical foundations, explores the intrinsic mechanism of the agricultural cluster development by applying the industry cluster theory in agriculture, raises the bases of practice, constructs the evaluation system of modern agricultural industrial cluster development and conducts an empirical study of the modern agricultural industrial cluster development in Changsha, Zhouzhou, and Xiangtan in Hunan Province by employing the SWOT analytic method in the modern strategy management theory The dissertation seeks to find out major factors influencing the industrial cluster development of modern agriculture in Hunan and justifies its further development. It ends with bringing forward strategies and countermeasures of industrial cluster development of Hunan modern agriculture.The dissertation aims at reaching the following objectives: firstly, broaden the development field of industry cluster contributing to the deepening and systemization of the research in the theory of industry cluster development of modern agriculture; reveal the regular patterns of industrial cluster development of modern agriculture helpful for the further understanding of agricultural modernization. Second, judging from its practical values, the dissertation analyzes major problems and difficulties in developing modern agricultural industrial clusters in Hunan Province and proposes the model and solutions of modern agricultural industrial cluster development to provide reference for the cluster development of modern agriculture in the interior provinces of China and the relevant government department in formulating development strategies, plans, and policies of modern agricultural development.
