Study On The Location Choice Of China's Overseas Farmland Investment

In the context of booming global Overseas Farmland Investment, the behavior of China's participation in the global Overseas Farmland Investment is growing rapidly which is driven by the risk of grain market stability and domestic food supply. The risk of grain market stability is caused by the inborn bottleneck of agricultural production including the poor condition of agricultural production in some areas, the great pressure of agricultural production in the advantage areas and the reality of small Per capita arable land area. The risk of domestic food supply is generate by the tremendous pressure on the protection of cultivated land which is released by the great demand of construction land for the development of industrialization and urbanization.Therefore, in recent years, domestic and foreign scholars have carried out a more extensive research on the theme of Overseas Farmland Investment, and achieved the relatively abundant research results.However, the study on the Location Choice of China's Overseas Farmland Investment which is vital to the healthy and benign operation of the projects is relatively rare. What's worse, the current research mainly uses qualitative method and lacks quantitative research methods.Based on the basic logic point that Overseas Farmland Investment belongs to the category of Outward Foreign Direct Investment, the research framework and paradigm of Outward Foreign Direct Investment was introduced into the study on the Location Choice of Overseas Farmland Investment. Then, by making full use of the existing Outward Foreign Direct Investment Location Choice theory basis, the article constructed the theoretical hypothesis of the influencing factors of the Location Choice of China's Overseas Farmland Investment which is to provide theoretical support for the setting of variable system in the following empirical study. On this basis, the China's Overseas Farmland Investment data which were up to February 2016 were carried out descriptive statistics,and were used to verify the variable system which was set up according to the theoretical hypothesis to scientifically determine the influencing factors of the Location Choice of China's Overseas Farmland Investment by binary logistic model. After that, in the full use of theoretical analysis and empirical analysis of the relevant results,the paper puts forward some countermeasures and suggestions.The article uses the standard research and the empirical research method to carry on the research. It is divided into 5 parts. In the introduction part, the article mainly discusses the research background and the significance, the domestic and foreign research present situation, the research rationale, the research mentality and the method, the research content and the innovation. The content of the second part is the theoretical hypothesis of the location choice of China's Overseas Farmland Investment. That is, the theoretical hypothesis of the determinants of China's Overseas Farmland Investment Location Choice. In the third part, the empirical analysis of China's overseas investment Location Choice, mainly focuses on the two aspects of China's overseas investment location distribution and statistical analysis. The fourth part of this paper is focused on the discussion of the countermeasures and suggestions of China's Overseas Farmland Investment Location Choice. The last part is the conclusion, which summarizes the main conclusions of the article, as well as the problems and prospects of the research..The possible innovations are mainly concentrated on the topic research field and perspective because of the research blank about the Location Choice of Overseas Farmland Investment at home and abroad.
