An Empirical Analysis On Farmers’ Food Safety Production Behavior Influenced By Agricultural Production And Management Organization Modes

Food safety is a hotspot concerned by common people, society and government at all times."Food Safety Law of the People’s Republic of China" is applied on June1st,2009, which means we will solve the problem of food safety by law. But food safety problems break out in a high frequency in recent years which brings great threat and harms to the consumers’health and life. The quality and safety of agri-products is the first barrier of food safety. Farmers’food quality safety production behavior affects the safety situation. Small scale and dispersive food production mode can’t guarantee food safety well, and government strength is not the only way to solve the problem of agri-products quality and safety, consummating the systematization of agricultural production and management organization is the complement of strengthening governmental management during to solve the problem of food safety.Information asymmetry and lack of effective supervise lead to the problem of agri-products quality and safety. On the premise of raised deal repeat rates, discriminating the risk type of farmers" deal and supplying the suited deal mode can affect and encourage farmers to conduct safe production. There are many relations between upriver and downriver and exchange of values in agri-products transaction. Farmer supplies products and services to agricultural production and management organization while agricultural production and management organization feeds different in formations back to farmer. During the process of feed back, farmers’ present production environment and resource gift are changed, and the innovation of farmers*’production technology and behavior will happen. In this study we will start with the impact of agricultural production and management organization on grape farmers" food safety production behavior and we will analyze agricultural production and management participation, agricultural production and management organization modes and inner characters of agricultural production and management organization on the whole. This paper will spread as the following logic:First, we’ll look at farmers’production behavior from the perspective of agricultural production and management and food safety, analyze the impact of agricultural production and management organization on farmers’ food quality safety production behavior, including the agricultural production and management participation, agricultural production and management organization modes. Then we select the agricultural production and management organization mode of "farmers+farmer cooperative economics organizations+corporations" and analyze the farmers’ food safety production behavior influenced by inside characters of farmer cooperative organizations setting encourage and control mechanism as the keynote. At last we analyze the internal food safety management mechanism of farmer cooperatives and pivotal cooperation under close agricultural production and management mode. The specific contents are as follows:Part1:situation of grape industry, the micro description of grape agricultural production and management organization and farmer production behaviorThis section aims to lay the foundation of the following empirical analysis. By analyzing the main grape producing regions in Jiangsu province, we find that grape industry develops rapidly these years, but still has a big gap with developed regions in and abroad our country. There are many professional grape farmers and corporations, but the scale is not big, management behave is not standard. Because the harm of illness and insects are very serious, the pressure of controlling pesticide residuals is fairly high, the situation of food safety is not ideal. Farmers’ planting operations are not according with the technical standard, high grade and standard production has not been popularized. Spot market is the main dealing modes which are adopted by the farmer, and the time of attendance is not very long.Part2:the analysis of interaction between agricultural production and management organization and farmers’safety production behaviorBased on new classical economics, information economics, and behavior economics and so on, we can find the inner and inter logical relations between agricultural production and management organization and farmers’safety production behavior. We will discuss the impact and way of agricultural production and management organization on farmers’ food quality safety production behavior, including the food quality and safety controlling mechanism. It shows that:first agricultural production and management can bring change about farmers’ present production environment and resource gift, which leads to the innovation of farmers’ production technology and behavior. Different agricultural production and management organization modes have different restrain ways to farmers and impact. Rural cooperative organizations have the driving force of controlling food safety including encouragement and control.Part3:the impact of agricultural production and management organization on grape farmers’ food safety production behaviorBy using the relevance analysis, OLS medel and FGLS model, this paper discusses the inter-relationship between agricultural production and management organization and grape farmers’ food safety production behavior. Three main conclusions are as follows:Firstly, grape farmers’ food safety production behavior is influenced by agricultural production and management participation and agricultural production and management organization mode. Second, labour education level in the family, villge leader and reagion are also influence grape farmers’food safety production behavior. Third, the production behavior of farmers who joined the cooperative association was comparatively safer.Four, in the mode which didn’t controls the endogeniety problem, the effect of agricultural production and management participation is overestimated, and the effect of agricultural production and management organization mode is underestimated.Part4:the impact of inside characters of agricultural production and management organizations on grape farmers’food safety production behaviorBased on the above conclusion, this paper discusses the inter-relations between agricultural production and management organizations and grape farmers’food safety production behavior using the Tobit model. We select the agricultural production and management organization mode of "farmers+farmer cooperative economics organizations+corporations", assort the quality safety controlling merchanism of farmer cooperative economics organizations into encouragement and restriction. The results show that:the impacts of encouragement and restriction on grape farmers’ food safety production behavior are different. Effect of encouragement merchanism on safety level of farmers’ production behavior is greater on the condition of controlling other facts.Part5:internal food safety management mechanism of agricultural production and management organizationWe analyze the food safety management mechanism of farmer cooperatives and pivotal cooperation. Farmer cooperatives had an important effect on agri-products quality safety control. Pivotal cooperation under close agricultural production and management mode has concentrated production organizatiom mode, high level operation mode, homogeneous production mode, well informationed market distribution, has the ability to supply high-quality grape.
