Market Structure And The Development Of Pollution-free Agricultural Research

In recent years, people pay more and more attention to the problem of agro-food safety, especially the problem of food safety, along with the increasingly improving of living level and the changing on the supply and demand of agro-food. However, the situation of agro-food safety is increasingly serious in China. During the period of " two meeting", in March, 2001, 38 representatives of National Peoples Congress united to bring up a proposal about the agro-food safety, and sent out the question about what we still dared to eat. This showed that the problem of the agro-food safety had already become the focus of people following with interest and an important question for urgently needing to be studied and solved in front of the central government and local authorities.Thus, in the April of 2001, Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) launched a pilot project on the "Pollution-free Food Movement Plan" in four cities: Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Shenzhen, and decided to carry forward the plan at nation-wide from the beginning of 2002, according to the request of national meeting of the Vegetable Basket. From then on, the prologue of Chinese pollution-free agriculture had been drawn back. Moreover, the implementation of the Plan had also reflected a kind of will that the government intended to develop pollution-free agriculture compulsorily. Under the background of government will, the media also added fuel to the flames, so the enthusiasm of developing pollution-free agriculture was rising rapidly in all parts of China as if "the developing of pollution-free agriculture entered into a high-speed lane during one night".The healthy development of every industry all needs the certain terms, and also must follow the law of development of economy. It is no doubtful that pollution-free agriculture is regarded as a direction of agricultural industry innovation, however, the good desire, which the government intend to develop vigorously pollution-free agriculture, cannot go against the law of economic development. At present, there are many problems, which mainly have given expression to impatient for success during the process of developing pollution-free agriculture.Pollution-free agriculture, as an important part of the "Pollution-free Food Movement Plan", can or cannot be developed sustained and healthily, which depends on what the producers can or cannot obtain good economic performance by producing pollution-free agro-food. On the basis of modern market structure theory, economic performance belongsto the category of market performance, and there is intimate relationship among market structure, market conduct and market performance, which mainly shows that market performance depends on the nature of market structure in the agriculture, so the economic performance of producing pollution-free agro-food depends on the nature of market structure in which the kind of pollution-free agro-food is.Until now, the achievements on studying industry organization with the theory of market structure more focus on the second and the third industry, which is poor on the agriculture. Based on the status quo of research on home and abroad, we will analyze the natures of these marketes on which agricultural products and pollution-free agro-food are from two aspects of theory and practice in this dissertation. Furthermore, we will analyze the reasons why market structure of pollution-free agro-food has been formed, and can provide guides for promoting the development sustained and healthily of pollution-free agriculture by improving the market structure of pollution-free agro-food. The paper is divided into four parts.The first part is the chapter one, also is the preface of the paper, expatiates the research background, aim, status quo, object, contents, framework, research method, innovation and deficiency.The second part includes chapter two, three. In chapter two, it was mainly expatiated upon the contents of construction, conduct and performance of market as well as their causality. Based on the review of theory on market structure, the conce...
