The Research On The Role Of The Local Government In The Process Of Agricultural Marketization

With the acceleration of the industrialization and the urbanization, the problem of Urban-rural gap in China is becoming more and more significant, especially the "Three Rural Issues". Urban-Rural Integrated Development is the key to the solution of "Three Rural Issues". The adoption of marketing is the key to the development of the issue of agriculture. In the process of marketization of agriculture, the government does not do nothing, the coordination of the government and market is very necessary. As one of the most significant elements in the structure of state, in addition to macroeconomic policy, the county level governments play an important role in the process of the marketization of agriculture.Changxing, an important agricultural county in Zhejiang Province, has made a great effort in Urban-Rural Integrated Development. This paper finds that the government of Changxing has make several experiment since early21st century. Through the investigation, the author just focus on the efforts to promote the marketization of agriculture and finds that in the process of, the main task is to build infrastructures in rural areas, but in the process of "Ten Projects", it tunes to cultivate the dominant position of the farmers. The Changxing government respects the law of how the market develops and the dominant position of the farmers, as it works hard to build a network of the government, agricultural enterprises and the society.Therefore, we should put agriculture development into the main frame of socio-economic development, let the cultivation of social forces become a good partner during the process of agricultural modernization. For the local government, it is supposed to stimulate social forces and encourage the farmer to be a dominant position in the market, meanwhile, just promote the marketization of production factors and the products of agriculture. The transformation of government functions is urgent. As to the local government, it is time to transform from the tradition role of "blood transfusion" to "hematopoietic function", so as to promote the ability of the farmers to take part in the market competition and stimulate the great potential of development in rural areas.
