Research On The Effect Of Ecological Animal Husbandry Cooperatives On Poverty Reduction And Income Increase

Cooperatives originated in rural areas,grew up in the process of rural development,and were intertwined with farmers,and cooperatives have always been regarded as one of the economic organizations that effectively promote the rural economy and are the natural main body of poverty alleviation.In the stage of poverty alleviation,cooperatives,as an effective carrier of farmers’ organization,drive farmers to increase income and reduce poverty.Cooperatives in various places have gradually developed and expanded,increasing in number,connecting villages and farmers inward,and external resources,enterprises and other market entities outward,driving the development of the poor and social development and enhancing local economic strength in their own development.China’s poverty alleviation battle achieved a comprehensive victory in 2020,all poor people achieved poverty alleviation,the overall regional poverty was solved,the problem of absolute poverty was completely eliminated,and the new business entity stationed at the rural grassroots level cooperatives played an important role.Qinghai Province Chengduo county are ethnic areas,but also poverty areas during the poverty alleviation period,poverty problems are many,the degree is deep,to solve the problem of poverty and economic backwardness in Chengduo county,not only rely on external support,but also need the endogenous development of the entire county society,the establishment of ecological animal husbandry cooperatives,rooted in the local villages of Chengduo County,originated from the familiar rural social network,relying on local resource endowments,to build a characteristic industrial development system in Chengduo County,and help to achieve poverty alleviation in the whole county to contribute to the alleviation of poverty.In the five-year transition stage of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty alleviation,the evaluation and testing of the effect of cooperatives in increasing income and reducing poverty will play a role in solving the problem of relative poverty in multiple counties and promoting rural revitalization in the post-poverty era.This paper focuses on 510 herdsmen households in 7 ecological animal husbandry cooperatives in 7 counties designated as poverty counties in Chengduo County,which are located in the Sanjiangyuan ecological protection area,mainly animal husbandry,and are designated as poverty alleviation counties during the poverty alleviation period,and is committed to studying and analyzing the theoretical mechanism of ecological animal husbandry cooperatives on herdsmen’s poverty reduction and income increase,and based on the field research data of members and non-members of ecological animal husbandry cooperatives.The Propensity Matching Score model and Quantile Regression method were used to empirically analyze the effect of herders joining ecological animal husbandry cooperatives to reduce poverty and increase income.The results of the study showed that:(1)From the empirical analysis results of the propensity matching scoring method model and quantile regression model,it can be seen that the effect of herdsmen joining ecological animal husbandry cooperatives in increasing income and reducing income is obvious,and it is said that multi-county ecological animal husbandry cooperatives have a positive impact on the poverty reduction and income increase of herdsmen who join the cooperative,and the degree of influence is low,medium and high income level herdsmen from high to low,and significantly affects low-income herdsmen.(2)In the evaluation and analysis of the effect of poverty reduction and income increase of animal husbandry cooperatives in many counties,through theoretical and empirical analysis,it is found that after herdsmen join ecological animal husbandry cooperatives,their production capacity and efficiency,market transaction and bargaining power,information acquisition ability are improved,and more importantly,endogenous motivation is enhanced,mental outlook changes and self-confidence level is enhanced.Through its balance test and matching quality,it shows that the PSM matching process is correct.From the matching results,the participation of herders in ecological animal husbandry cooperatives has a more obvious effect on horizontal and vertical income and the poverty reduction effect of ability and power.(3)Through theoretical and empirical analysis,it is found that after herdsmen join the ecological animal husbandry cooperative,they have the right to participate in the general meeting,participate in the daily affairs management of the cooperative,make decisions on major matters and express their opinions,and enhance their right to speak and express.(4)There was a certain degree of positive or negative impact of variable household heads’ education level,grassland area,government subsidies,number of labor force,whether they participated in professional training,the economic development level of the village in their own townships,and productive expenditures,and whether herdsmen joined ecological animal husbandry cooperatives to improve their ability,increase income,and increase the number of rights enjoyed.Through field research and interviews with herders,95% of herders said that joining ecological animal husbandry cooperatives has a sense of recognition that their income increase,ability improvement and power ownership have a significant role in promoting this,and empirical analysis also confirms this,but the current multi-county ecological animal husbandry cooperative also has many problems,which need to be continuously solved and improved in development.Based on this,from extending the industrial chain of ecological animal husbandry cooperatives,continuously increasing members’ income,and enhancing the capabilities of all aspects,we will coordinate the "collective" operations of various cooperatives,strengthen the financial support of cooperatives,build a long-term mechanism for cooperative construction,and put forward policy suggestions that Chengduo county ecological animal husbandry cooperatives will increase income and reduce the "relative poverty" effect in the postpoverty era.
