Abstract

Abstract:

【Objective】 Zhejiang Province has been at the forefront of China in the moderate-scale operation of agriculture, and its experience has great reference significance in the path selection and policy formulation of outsourcing of rice production and moderate-scale agricultural management in the country.【Method】 Based on the follow-up survey in Zhejiang Province from 2010 to 2019, the empirical research and comparative research methods are used to analyze the temporal and spatial changes and influencing factors of production outsourcing in Zhejiang Province.【Result】 From the temparal perspective, the overall development process of rice production outsourcing in Zhejiang Province is on the rise; from the spatial perspective, the production outsourcing in Zhejiang Province started early and developed rapidly. In recent years, the gap between agricultural production outsourcing in other provinces and Zhejiang Province has gradually narrowed, the first-mover advantage of Zhejiang Province has weakened, and the later-mover advantage of economically underdeveloped areas has increased. Among the factors that affect outsourcing, the effect of individual factors such as farmer age, education standard, and rice planting time in labor-intensive link outsourcing in Zhejiang Province is less than that of technology-intensive link outsourcing. The increasing age and working time of rice farmers have a negative impact and the rice planting scale and family relative income have a significant positive impact on the outsourcing of rice technology-intensive links in Zhejiang Province.【Conclusion】 Affected by the development trend of simplified rice farming technology, the outsourcing mix of technology-intensive links has changed; farmland transfer and production link outsourcing are two ways to achieve moderate-scale land management, and the two influence each other and coexist for a long time; The influence of decision-making in agricultural production outsourcing has gradually shrinked, and the role of the group effect has been highlighted.

Key words: outsourcing of rice production, moderate scale operation, temporal changes, spatial distribution

摘要：

【目的】浙江省农业适度规模经营走在中国的前列，其经验对全国的水稻生产环节外包和农业适度规模经营的路径选择及政策制定具有借鉴意义。【方法】基于浙江省2010－2019年的跟踪调查，采用实证研究和比较分析方法，对浙江省生产环节外包的时空变迁和影响因素进行分析。【结果】从时间发展来看，浙江省水稻生产环节外包进程整体呈上升趋势，但2013年以来上升速度放缓；从空间特征来看，与其他省份相比，浙江省生产环节外包起步早、发展快，近年来其他省份农业生产环节外包与浙江省的差距逐渐缩小，浙江省的先发优势减弱，经济欠发达地区的后发优势增强。就影响外包的因素而言，农户年龄、文化程度、水稻种植从业时间等个体特征对浙江省劳动密集型环节外包的影响小于技术密集型环节外包，稻农年龄增长和从业时间延长对浙江省水稻技术密集环节外包有负向影响；水稻种植规模、家庭相对收入对技术密集型环节外包具有显著的正向影响。【结论】受轻简化稻作技术发展趋势影响，技术密集型环节外包结构发生改变；农地流转和生产环节外包作为实现土地适度规模经营的两种方式，两者相互影响，长期并存；农户个体特征对稻农生产环节外包行为决策的影响逐渐削弱，群体效应开始凸显。
