Studies On Development Of Dragon-headed Enterprise Of Agricultural Industrialization

Management of agricultural industrialization (MAI) is the important characteristic of the development of modern agriculture. The development level of Dragon-headed enterprises (DEs) is the key factor that influences the level of MAI. In 2000, there are 604 DEs in MAI that agree with the statistic standard, and peasants evolved in MAI add up to 5122 thousand in Hebei province. At the end of the tenth "five-year" plan, the amount of DEs whose sales beyond 100 million would be 100, and the rate of MAI would be 50%. How to speed up the development of DEs, and how to promote the agriculture and rural economy has become the problem to be solved in theories and realities. On the theoretical basis of DEs development in MAI, and through the research of current conditions and underlying questions, the paper indicates, in recent years, the amount of DEs is more, and scales of DEs are larger than before in Hebei province. Diversified units have invested on DEs. Profit mechanism between DEs and peasants is rational day after day. Economic power of DEs is strengthened. Many peasants benefit more from DEs. But, many DEs are small. They have limited capabilities, low management skills, and poor competitiveness. Joining WTO, the agriculture and DEs have to face more stiff challenges. The development of DEs is often influenced by poor technologies, unperfected market mechanism, no unique organization, and unformed institutions in some extent. The paper suggests that promoting DEs competitiveness is the important countermeasure to WTO. On the basis of analysis of research work home and abroad, we put forward the designing principles, methods and the model of enhancing DEs competitiveness. Combining the analysis of current conditions and problems of Hebei province, we put forward countermeasures to quickening the development of DEs, namely, establishing the right strategy of development, promoting the competitiveness of DEs, perfecting the profit mechanism, utilizing the diversified tactics, stipulating rules in scientific way, providing better surrounding.
