Study On The Factors Of Farmers' Willingness And Behaviors To Produce Safe Food In Henan

International technical barriers to trades (TBT) about agricultural products are the main technical tools to protect trades between countries, which also shows the technological progress and human civilization progress. Since China becomes a member of WTO, about 90% of Chinese agricultural products exports suffer from the impact of technical trade measures, which accounting for more than 50% of total losses of six major export industries caused by TBT. In the new century, the rates of our agricultural exports in foreign trade exports decline year by year, and since 2003, Chinese agricultural export trades have maintained a pattern of deficit. The formation of this pattern is a result of balance on domestic agricultural products demands, however, undeniably, it is also an important reason that the amount of pesticide residues exceeds maximum limits standard, and the foreign technical trade barrier is difficult to be crossed. The safe quality of export-agricultural products not just influences Chinese international image of export trade, but also is far-reaching to expand the employment and income of farmers, as well as promote transformation of agricultural production. Therefore, it is imminent to enhance the safe quality of export-agricultural products.There are many factors affecting food safety. Farmers'behaviors in production are the main human factors. This paper analyzed the factors on farmers'willing to producing safe food and those on farmers'behaviors through dealing with the data from 12 villages in Henan with the binary Logistic model and Principal Component Analysis. This could improve food safety from the producing source, and also be important to guide farmers'production. The conclusions are as follow.(1) Scattered farmers are the main body who apply pesticides. Most of them are women, and their average age is a bit old. Different farmers have different perception of safe agriculture because of different age, gender and education.(2) This paper shows age, gender, perception, and economic factor all have affection on farmers'willingness and behavior. Government regulations and services will act neither on farmers'willing nor their behaviors. Government should establish all kinds of policies to guide and inspire farmers to produce safe food in order to develop our nation's agriculture.
