The Analysis Of Pear Production Labor Costs With Different Cultivation Patterns In Hebei Province

Pear is the traditional fruit in Hebei province. Its cultivation has a long history. It is one of the important species of fruit tree cultivation in the province. In recent years, pear industry has become one of the leading industries of Hebei province to develop the rural economy and increase farmers’ income. With the aging population in China, the moving of rural labor to urban areas and the increasing of the price of labor, the need of orchard labor is becoming increasingly strained. Exploring and developing labor-saving cultivation of fruit trees, and improving the international competitiveness of Hebei Province are our historic missions. It is important to choose what kind of cultivation is more economical and practical. It is also important to reduce the labor cost of pear production. There is great significance for Hebei Province to standard with the international.This paper bases on the pear production under the tall and sparse planting and dwarf and close planting.
