Reserach On Farmers’ Forestry Cooperative Behavior

The reform of collective forest right system makes the management situation of forestry production having undergone great changes, showing a characteristic of decentralization of forest property right structure, diversification of main business, diversification of management form. The status of forestry decentralized management and the requirement of improving the forestry production benefit need farmers’cooperation in forestry management, who became the main forest management decisioner. Farmers’ forestry cooperative behavior is a reflection of the implementation of reform policies of the current collective forest right system. These, that researching on farmers’vertical selection in forestry management, constructing the theoretical framework and empirical model of farmers’ decision-making process and the influencing factors in forestry cooperative behavior, revealing farmers’behavior mechanism in forestry cooperative management, raising the policy on how to drive farmers’vertical cooperation in forestry management, have not only the important theory value for the development of farmers’cooperative behavior theory and the agricultural industrialization theory, but also the practical reference value of guiding, motivating and restricting the cooperative behavior of farmers’forestry management, and ensuring their cooperation benefit.Through the methods of literature research, questionnaire survey and statistics analysis, Based on the sample farmers’survey data in Jiangxi Province, this study uses descriptive statistics, binomial logidtic and multiterm logistic econometric models, research on the behavior and its influencing factors of the farmers’ forestry cooperation by theoretical and empirical research methods. Based on the analysis model of farmers’ forestry cooperative behavior, this study is in accordance with "Why to cooperate→How to cooperate (Is willing to cooperate→Choose what partner→Choose what cooperation mode) and the influence factors→put forward effective countermeasures".From farmers’ needs, this study analyses theoretically and empirically the internal motivation and external motivation of farmers’ forestry cooperative behavior based on the survey data of farmers in Jiangxi Province, and the important degree and the difference of these motivations. This part of the study points out that the motivation of farming households’ forestry cooperative management come mainly from two aspects:One is the internal driving factors from the farmers’ pursuit of the forestry benefit and the demand of forestry resources and service; The other is external factors of external demand and industrial development to promote cooperation, That comes from the national and social requirements on ecological construction and forestry industry development, from the promoting by the government policy support and good development of forestry industrialization organization. These econometric models’ empirical results show that farming households’ forestry cooperative management willingness is of positive with factors including householders’education level,forestry income’s important level in family income,raising difficulty level of forest management funds,householders’risk assessment of forestry management,householders’evaluation of forestry policy stability,whether the encouraging policy of forestry cooperation management.villagers’participation ratio of forestry cooperation management,forest management scale,forest product type and so on. The farming households’ forestry partner selection has significant correlation with householders’education level,forestry income’s important level in family income,the evaluation of the partners development degree,forest management scale,forest product type. The farming households’ forestry cooperation mode selection is affected by some factors such as labor force, forest products’sale difficulty level,partner type, forest management scale, evaluation of forest site conditions,forest product type.Relying on the survey data of the farmers in Jiangxi Province, using descriptive statistical analysis and logistic model’s econometric analysis, this study empirically researches on farmers’ willingness to cooperate, the partner selection, the cooperation way selection and their influencing factors in the forestry cooperative management, reveals the inherent mechanism and the rules of farmers’ cooperative behavior.Based on the research conclusion, it puts forward the countermeasures and Suggestions:(1)The mode of farmers’forestry cooperative management should be consistent with the local situation;(2)To encourage farmers developing cooperative family farm and Stock farm, to promote vigorously the cooperative mode of "company+ cooperation organization+base+farmers";(3)To stable the forestry policy, to respect fully the willingness of farmers in forestry cooperation;(4)To improve the two skills of the farmers’ technology and market, to cultivate the new type forestry farmers;(5)Intensify efforts to cultivate the three new main forestry management bodies: Large forestry family, forestry cooperation organization, leading forestry enterprise;(6)To establish long-term mechanism for farmers;(7)To establish forest product price regulation mechanism;(8)To establish and perfect two cooperative security mechanism:the cooperation benefit safeguard mechanism and the coordination mechanism between departments;(9)To strengthen the construction of the five forestry service platform: Investment and financing service platform, forestry science and technology service platform, forestry insurance service platform, forestry public service platform.
