The good development of agricultural industrialization cannot be separated from the sales of agricultural products and the large-scale planting of agricultural products.Order agriculture is an effective way to solve the problem of connecting small farmers with modern agriculture and the sales problems of farmers,and the benefits generated by order agriculture will also affect the endogenous motivation of farmers’ production and their confidence in sustainable planting and production.With the widespread implementation of contract farming,disadvantaged groups such as smallholder farmers will continue to be rejected by companies and default in practice.Therefore,it is important for the government to vigorously promote the development of contract farming,break through the traditional order model,introduce intermediary organizations to innovate the organization model of contract farming to adapt to the new situation of agricultural industrialization,and actively guide and encourage farmers to participate in standardized contract farming in order to enhance the income level and sense of access of farmers.In order to investigate the real benefits generated by the development of contract farming in regional special agricultural industries and the changes in farmers’ psychological sense of gain,this paper discusses the following questions:First,for regional special agricultural industries,can farmers engaged in this special agricultural industry participate in contract farming to improve their economic sense of gain? Does the new contract farming model differ from the traditional "company + farmers" contract model in terms of the farmers’ sense of economic gain? This paper investigates the impact of contract farming on farmers’ economic access using an ordered Probit model and further tests the variance inflation factor VIF to avoid The multi-collinearity problem was further examined.On this basis,the paper further discusses the impact of other new contract farming models on farmers’ economic access using a sample of 159 contract farmers and the traditional "company + farmers" contract farming model as the reference group.The research results show that: firstly,the brand building process of Anyue lemon industry is divided into four stages: gestation period,budding period,formation period,and development period,in which the development process of Anyue lemon order agriculture is carried out,and the good development of order agriculture requires the synergy of farmers,government,cooperatives and enterprises in the interest mechanism.The good development of order agriculture requires the synergistic promotion of farmers,government,cooperatives and enterprises under the joint role of interest mechanism,in order to effectively enhance the endogenous power of farmers’ production and farmers’ economic access.Second,the economic sense of access of contract farmers is the result of the combined effect of multiple variables,with farmers’ education level,household income,planting area,technical guidance,and government policies all being significant variables that affect farmers’ economic sense of access.Third,participation in contract farming has a significant positive effect on farmers’ sense of economic gain,one is that farmers who participated in contract farming can significantly increase farmers’ horizontal sense of gain compared with other non-contract farmers in the village;the other is that farmers’ own expected income this year compared with last year’s income level,and it is found that participation in contract farming can improve farmers’ confidence in future income growth,i.e.,contract farming can significantly increase farmers’ In other words,contract farming can significantly improve farmers’ vertical expectation of income.Fourth,compared with the traditional "company + farmers" contract farming organization model,the two new contract farming organization models of "company + grower +farmers" and "company + broker + farmers" can significantly enhance farmers’ horizontal and vertical expectations.The "company + cooperative + farmers" order model cannot significantly enhance farmers’ sense of economic gain.Finally,combining the current situation of lemon industry development in Anyue and the actual research data,this paper proposes policy suggestions to optimize the local order agriculture organization model and increase the support of related leading enterprises and the government,so as to better play the role of order agriculture in promoting farmers’ income and psychological economic access.
