A Case Study On Construction Of Aid-Agriculture System In Underdeveloped Regions In Jiangxi Province

In recent years, the so-called "three-rural problem" which is related to countryside, agriculture and farmers, has become the focus of social concern. Solution to the problem lies in agricultural development, farmers' income increase and rural prosperity as well as a new strategy of new thinking rather than superficial perceptions of agriculture, farmers and rural regions. From a perspective of the world, development of agricultural economy is the combination of relevant contributing factors for the problem, of which agricultural supporting service is a fundamental step as well as a closely related starting point.By construction of aid-agricultural service, tens of thousands of fanning households can be united and linked to the changing market, with the purpose of improving farmers' quality, facilitating the agricultural development, quickening the fusion and progress, overall planning of the communication of rural and urban economy and steadily sustaining farmers' income increase. The vast underdeveloped rural regions see constraints in their development of agriculture and countryside due to the backward supporting service such as out-of-date technology, outflow of capital, ill-informed situation, lack of public products, obsolete facilities and slow progress of intermediaries.Obviously, the solution to such a "three-rural problem" requires support from governments and all walks of the society, in addition to farmers' self-initiatives. In the developed countries, the long-term exploration from governments has facilitated the construction of an institutionalized aid-agriculture service system with a relatively perfect series of policies, while in China, such a system is just in a infant stage, even with vacancies in certain underdeveloped rural regions.Under the circumstances of market economy, how to construct a perfect aid-agriculture service system is an important subject that needs urgent research and immediate solution. The following are the main components of this dissertation.Chapter I serves as an introduction, in which an elaboration on the vital importance to the underdeveloped regions and their agriculture of construction of aid-agriculture service is provided. Some comments are also made on relevant literatures, which constitute the theoretical basis for this dissertation. The research thread, research methods, research content and main innovative ideas are also introduced.Chapter II is about an analysis of conceptions, implications, content and status quo related to the agricultural and rural public service. A further analysis is carried out on the status quo of aid-agriculture service in underdeveloped regions, while the causes of the problem are diagnosed as well.In Chapter III, that the construction of a relatively perfect aid-agriculture service system is the key to the problem related to agriculture, countryside and farmers is discussed based on a theoretical and case analysis. It points out that such service promotes agricultural output and farmers' income rise.Chapter IV is on practice and implementations from developed countries and regions. By an analysis of service supporting practice in U.S.A, EU, Japan and Australia as well as such regions in South Jiangsu Province, Dongyang in Zhejiang Province, Shouguang in Shandong Province and Daxi Village at Panyu in Guangdong Province, some experiential implications are drawn for the underdeveloped rural regions in our country.In Chapter V, basic principles and goals are set for the service system. Based on the analysis of the farmers' need for service in four underdeveloped counties in Jiangxi Province, basic principles and goals are suggested. The basic principles are feasibility, universality, public interests, priority, efficiency and sustainability. The basic goals are farmers' income increase, improvement of farmers' quality, agricultural industrialization and citizen benefits of public service for farmers.Chapter VI is about the basic strategy of construction of a relatively perfect aid-agriculture service system. An elaboration is made on the theories of market promotion, government domination, plural subjects and institutionalized transferring. An analysis is also made on components, subject function, information channel, dimension structure, investment mechanism, stimulus mechanism and security mechanism.Chapter VII is on the suggestions for policies in the system. The focus includes a clear obligation for the governments, establishment of implementation bodies, further reform of the system of counties and townships, quicker transformation of duty function of counties and townships, establishment of a steady, growing investment mechanism, support of farmers' supply and demand with multiple-subjects and a relatively perfect legal and inspectional supervision.Chapter VIII is about the conclusions and implications for further study. In this dissertation, research has been carried out on the mechanism and measures for construction of aid-agriculture service. This author has pointed out that the system can narrow the gap between rural an urban regions, change the countryside, reduce farmers' burden, increase farmers' economic operations and facilitate the process of agricultural industrialization. Fresh ideas shine in the research content, research perspective, research methods and policy suggestions. However, the dissertation is far from perfect and needs further research into relevant aspects which seems incomplete.
