Since 1996, the number of expropriated Chinese agricultural land has reached by 1.35 million hectares, more than 50 million farmers lost their farmland. Losing farmland means that farmers have lost basic survival safeguards.

Because of the absence of monitoring mechanisms, government officials often rent-seeking nature of corruption, in order to satisfy their own selfish interests, which breeding the ground for corruption officials.As the government’s "nerve endings", villagers’ Committees are affected by the government in the process of expropriation of farmland, failing to represent the fundamental interests of farmers. At the same time, because of the committee members themselves self-interest features and the lack of effective monitoring to the villagers’ Committees, there are village committees principal-agent problems in the practice of agricultural land expropriation process. There is still chaotic land acquisition procedures, inequitable distribution of land compensation fees and the law on rural collective land ownership and other issues that belonged ambiguity in the income distribution of agricultural land expropriation process in China.As a basic factor of production in the lives of farmers account for a pivotal position, agricultural land is the basis for the farmers. The interests of farmers is one of the fundamental interests of the country. Whether the farmers’ interest income allocation process can be guaranteed in agricultural land expropriation is related to the lives of farmers long-term stability and the country’s stability.This thesis will regard the agricultural land expropriation income distribution as the core study, and analyzes it in six parts.The first part describes the background and significance of the research, and then describe the main content and research ideas of the article and the article’s innovation.
