February1,2012."agricultural technology" as the keyword’s first document was formally issued. This is the central government since2004. the ninth release of the "three rural" as the theme of "Document", enough to show the important position of agriculture in China. Since China is a large agricultural country, and there is a serious shortage of water resources, precipitation spatial and temporal distribution is uneven, frequent droughts and floods and other illnesses, The issues of food security has been subject to national attention. Regardless of the proposed decision to accelerate water reform and development, or to strengthen the agricultural infrastructure to actively promote the steady development of agriculture, the ultimate goal is to effectively protect the basic supply of food and other agricultural products."In politics, first in enough food", the effective supply of food is an important material basis to promote rapid economic development and social stability. Since the reform and opening up, although there are several large fluctuations of grain production in China, but in General, the basic realization from the supply to the fundamental change in the balance of supply, especially noteworthy is the2011China’s grain output to achieve the continuous increase of the eighth year. At the same time, we also clearly recognize that the basis of national food production, long-term sustainable growth is not strong. Regional, structural contradictions increasingly prominent, restricting China’s grain production capacity to. improve natural resource factors are also strengthened. Therefore, in the current constraints, and only gradually through various means to improve agricultural production conditions, in order to truly achieve high and stable yield, and consolidate the production of long-term growth momentum of development to ensure national food security.Looking at the Research on China’s grain production capacity and its protection an enhancement measures can be found in the existing research focuses on the following d aspects: First, the current literature on China’s grain production capacity of most of the national scope of the study, the country as a whole to analyze the current situation of food production, Put forward to protect and improve grain productivity measures, but paid little attention to a regional food production capacity and its protection measures. For example, a separate study of a major grain producing areas of food production is still very rare in the literature, perhaps scholars think that the local study is not significance. However, I believe our country is in a critical period of adjustment and optimization of the regional distribution of agricultural production, the major grain producing areas or producing provinces are the main supplier of national food. Increasingly, prominent role to stabilize the nation’s grain production capacity of the overall situation, to protect the food supply, to maintain national food security. Thus this article is mainly based on grain province’s strategic position in the national food production, preferred northeast Jilin Province to the scope of the study, because Jilin Province is an important commodity grain production base and export base, especially corn production ranks first in the country. Corn as the main producing areas in the Songliao Plain, known as the world’s second largest "golden corn belt" reputation, the development of maize production in favorable conditions. Therefore, to enhance and protect the food production capacity of the province in this production has very important significance to ensure national food security.Second, China’s agricultural production has long been proved to be the "input type" production, so a large number of research scholars of the grain production capacity starting from the respective analysis perspective, proposed various factors to affect China’s grain production capacity, production function model coefficients all positive factors into an analytical frame work, it seems to be reasonable, but it is too surface, resulted in difficult to make a policy recommendations. This dispersion discussion the problem is not conducive to get everyone’s unanimous approval, the most important thing is can not find the root of the problem. Always fall into the argument of "Each says he is right".the recommendations can only be a "stop-gap measure." Therefore, in order to avoid a wide range of research questions rather than profound. This article based on the actual food production, firmly grasp a closely associated with grain production inputs and profound analysis of it, trying to quantify the optimal amount of inputs, in order to achieve the established scale of food production.Third, a lot of the existing papers has roughly discussed the elements of the input problem, agreed to increase investment, but for who acts as the investment main body problem each airs his own views, this article attempts a variety of issues from the macro level and micro-level analysis of factor inputs, and all the interests of farmers as the first principle, clear the main input, build a special supply system, innovation and investment mechanism to reverse the poor over the years put into effect the embarrassing situation.The article is divided into six parts. The first part describes the purpose and significance of this study; Clear the content and scope of this study; Discusses the theoretical basis of this article, research methods and research framework:The main innovation points and shortcomings are pointed out. The second section summarizes the relevant research results, summarized from five aspects, the agricultural infrastructure and food production capacity, agricultural infrastructure current status as well as its input, the main problem of agricultural infrastructure investment, investment and financing mechanisms and investment guarantee mechanism do basic research for this study. The third part is in-depth understanding of the theoretical basis of this paper. defines the basic concept of the agricultural infrastructure and food production capacity, clear the important role of the agricultural infrastructure to improve the comprehensive grain production capacity. The fourth part is analysis of the status of grain production an the current situation of production capacity in Jilin Province. The fifth part is the empirical analysis section-First put forward by applying theoretical models. Then introduced the text index design, data sources and methods, Through the measurement tool, the use of panel data analysis on Jilin Province agricultural infrastructure investment and output of empirical research, and concluded. The sixth part is the conclusion of this article, and put forward to protect and raise the comprehensive grain production ability countermeasures.
