Agricultural Machinery Purchase Subsidy Policy Effect In Guangdong

Agricultural mechanization is the only way to agricultural modernization.Previous studies have indicated that,through the purchase of agricultural machinery subsidies,can accelerate the process of agricultural mechanization.Guangdong has entered the late stage of industrialization.Accelerated development of industrialization and urbanization.The young adults engaged in agriculture are decreasing.More and more agricultural production needs to be accomplished through the use of modern agricultural equipment and technology.Strong demand for agricultural mechanization.Guangdong agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy is developing rapidly.And at this stage,the Guangdong government to support the development of agricultural mechanization.But studies have shown that,at present Guangdong Province agricultural development level and its economic power is still not consistent.Guangdong's agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy is not only consistent with the national,but also special.At present,the research on agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy mainly focuses on the research of agricultural mechanization itself and the relationship between agricultural mechanization and rural economic relations.The research on the mechanism and effect of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy is still insufficient.Guangdong Province,the purchase of agricultural machinery subsidy policy related research is even more weak.Therefore,it is of great theoretical significance and practical value to study the effect of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy in Guangdong.According to the operation mechanism of subsidy policy.Agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy effect is mainly reflected in three aspects,such as the transfer of agricultural labor force,agricultural production efficiency and farmers' income level.First of all,the purchase of agricultural machinery subsidies to increase the amount of agricultural holdings,and thus improve the level of agricultural mechanization.The improvement of the level of agricultural mechanization is an alternative to the agricultural labor force.And promote the transfer of agricultural labor.Secondly,the improvement of the level of agricultural mechanization and the acceleration of the transfer of agricultural labor force directly or indirectly improve the efficiency of agricultural production.In the end,the agricultural labor force transfer and the improvement of the efficiency of agricultural production,reduce the cost of agricultural production.At the same time,the increase of non agricultural income of farmers and agricultural income.But in practice,agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy is still subject to many factors,such as the micro subject environment,the factor endowments of farmers and so on.Therefore,the policy effect of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy in practice is still not very good.This paper traces the origin and the purchase of agricultural machinery subsidy policy practice in Guangdong.Then based on the perspective of farmers,we use 593 micro survey datafrom 17 city of Guangdong Province to study the effect of agricultural with Logistic,DEA and multiple linear regression models.We study machinery purchase subsidy policy on the transfer of agricultural labor force,agricultural production efficiency and farmers' income through theoretical and empirical methods.Research results show that:(1)The effect of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy on the transfer of agricultural labor force mainly embodied in the substitution effect and income effect in two aspects.The empirical study found that: first,in the theoretical perspective,when the income effect and the substitution effect change in the same direction,the purchase of agricultural subsidy policy will promote the transfer of labor force.When the income effect and the substitution effect change in different direction,the purchase of agricultural subsidy policy will still promote the transfer of labor force if the substitution effect is greater than the income effect,and vice versa.Second,from empirical analysis,Guangdong purchase of agricultural subsidies can promote the transfer of labor.Third,in different conditions,effects of the purchase of agricultural subsidies to agricultural labor transfer are not the same."When agricultural elements scarce but labor abundance" and "when agricultural elements is not saturated and labor scarcity" type of household,increase the purchase of agricultural subsidies will promote the transfer of labor."When factor of agricultural machinery is saturated and the labor factor is scarce" type of peasant household family,increase the amount of farm machinery purchase subsidy will restrain the labor force transfer.(2)The purchase of agricultural subsidy policy mainly through the impact of farmers' choice of agricultural machinery,to improve the efficiency of farmers' production.The empirical study found that: in the purchase of agricultural subsidies,farmer's production and management efficiency is continuously improved.It is shown that the technical efficiency,scale efficiency and comprehensive efficiency are rising.(3)The purchase of agricultural subsidy policy will affect the income of farmers through the purchase of agricultural machinery and farm machinery rental.But it has different effects on different types of farmers' income.From empirical study found that: first,The purchase of agricultural subsidy policy has a significant effect on the income of farmers.Second,from classification of different types of farmers,purchase of agricultural subsidies have a significant positive correlation withthe income of agricultural machine holders,and it is significantly negatively related to withthe leasers.Third,through empirical analysis found thatthe distribution of agricultural machinery services among farmers is more than the income distribution.Farmers rely on large and medium-sized agricultural machinery and more than small,and low income households rely more on large agricultural machinery.
