The Performance Evaluation On Agricultural Machinery Purchase Subsidy Policy In Jilin Province

Agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy is an important measure tostrengthen agriculture and benefit farmers. This policy has been implemented inChina since2004. Under the function of the policy, demonstrable results have beenachieved. Meanwhile, there exist also many serious problems. So the performance ofthe agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy has been widely concernednowadays. The subsidies amount of Jilin province is arranged by the centralgovernment，which is relatively more in China. The implementation of policy in Jilinprovince has certain representativeness. For this reason, the article evaluates andanalyses the performance of implementation of the policy in Jilin province by thecombination of qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis. It has significance bothin theoretical and practical value. It can not only fill the gap of the domestic andforeign related both home and abroad to a large extent, but also provide a scientificbasis for the establishment of the policy of subsidies for agricultural machinerypurchase in China. This paper has done in depth research from the following aspects.Section1is the related theoretical research of the performance evaluation onagricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy. First of all, it mainly defined theconcept of the agricultural machinery and the policy of subsidies for agriculturalmachinery purchase and relevant concepts. Secondly, it introduced the DEAevaluation method. So the basic framework has been established for the later research.Section2is the analysis of the situation of the policy’s implementation in ourcountry. Firstly, it concludes that the subsidy funds condition, range of machine typesand subsidies object through the elaboration of national agricultural machinerypurchase subsidy policy implementation situation. Then the effect on the nationalagricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy was analyzed. And it concludes thatthe policy has played a positive role in the agricultural machinery and equipment structure, the level of agricultural mechanization and agricultural mechanizationoperation level, etc.Section3is the analysis of the situation of the policy’s implementation in Jilinprovince. Firstly, on the basis of the introduction of the subsidy funds condition, rangeof machine types and subsidies object, the policy’s implementation in Jilin provincewas introduced. From such an analysis, it concludes that the policy’s implementationin Jilin province played an important role in the optimization of agriculturalmachinery and equipment structure and improvement of agricultural mechanizationlevel. Through the investigation and research, it points out some existing problems,such as the farmers’ demands and structure of subsidies.Section4is the performance evaluation on agricultural machinery purchasesubsidy policy in Jilin province. In this part, this paper used DEA analysis method,and39counties(cities) and13evaluation indexes are selected. Then it evaluates andanalyzes these indicators with DEA method and the following conclusions weregotten. Firstly, from the perspective of the comprehensive overall efficiency, technicalefficiency and scale efficiency, the deficiencies of technical efficiency and scaleefficiency, they aren’t enough in the investment of policy. And the lack of technicaleffectiveness is more serious. With the analyzing the reasons of DEA evaluationconclusion, it concludes that the deficiencies of the mechanical deep loosening area,the mechanized straw counters-field area and the mechanical water-saving irrigationarea are the main reason for the lower performance on subsidy policy in Jilinprovince.Based on the researches above, it proposed some corresponding countermeasuresthat improved the performance evaluation on the agricultural machinery purchasesubsidy policy in Jilin province. In the aspect of subsidy terms, it includescoordination of regional disparity in the province and coordination of the central andlocal financial capital ratio; in the subsidies machine type terms, it suggests thatsubsidies machine types should be adjusted to local conditions; in the supervision andmanagement terms, it includes completing the quality control before the upgrade andstrengthening the tracking management after the upgrade; in the policy propagandaterms, it suggests that the necessity of strengthening propaganda to guarantee the farmers to know it fully and buy the suitable agricultural machinery.Suggestionsabove are trying to make the performance evaluation on agricultural machinerypurchase subsidy policy in Jilin province improve and offer suggestions for policymakers and executors according to a scientific basis.
