Social Service Demand And Its Influence Factors Of Family Farm

The agricultural socialized service means the general process of social production from agriculture products' producing to its consumption.It is the summation of those relationships,which put the link before produce,during produce and after produce together to the main body of market,yet these were excluding the natural growth of animals or plants and those parts that producers completed by themselves.To some extent,family farm play the role of guide,it is usually determines the direction of agriculture's development.Further more,the family farm,as the final accepter of socialize service,to understand its demand and influence factors to socialize service can not only have guiding effect to the construction of the socialized service system,but also it can fulfill the demand of agricultural producers in reality.This report use rice family farm from both Fuhu and Huaining county from Anhui Province as the respondents,after descriptive statistical analysis,it founds that family farm have universal and urgent demand on:The improvement of pesticide;Improved fertilizer;Road maintenance;Seeding service and Supply and demand information service.The degree of mechanization of each segments are less than70%,different segments have diverse Mechanical sources,in addition to Spraying segment,it is mainly belongs to family farms themselves,the rest segments such as Seed sowing,fertilizing and harvesting are Originate to socialized service.As the lack of natural factors and the agricultural machinery service,these hindered mechanical work.This report used the logistic model to conduct the empirical analysis on the influence factors of the demand of socialized service.It discovered that the demand of pre-producing is mainly influenced by total population of family and the ages,while the demand service during the producing is mostly affected by both the total area and number of cultivated land,family income and the sales channels;and service after the production process is mainly influenced by age,level of education and sales channels.Those family farms with lower age and higher educational level may have higher cognitive degree on innovation,and it is also more challenging,therefore they prefer to purchase the modified material,besides they prefer processing before they sale the agricultural products,instead of providing the products directly to their customer without any processing.With the age increasing of householder,their capability of capture the information may reduce,therefore they have higher demand on information service and purchasing service.The more population of family farms requires higher demand on the stable income.They have more conservative attitude on new materials.With bigger total area of cultivated land and higher family income,more concentrate cultivated land;there is a reducing use of cost on purchasing mechanics per cultivated land unit,result in the prefer to buy mechanics and reduce the demand on service during the producing.While when this is more stable sales channels,producers may have less worry on the input of funds,and there is a higher rate of them to purchase the agricultural mechanics to finish the task independently.Furthermore,this reduce the demand on service of seeding,applying fertilizer,spraying,harvesting.The research findings reveal the present agricultural development status and issues of those use family farms as the main production,and provide the meaning of correspondent policies.It should strengthen the propaganda;education;training and improve the family famers' knowledge,so as to increase the using rate of improved material and the value added measures of the process of product.Improving the infrastructure of farmland and create better producing environment.Perfecting the supply system of socialized service,to meet the full family farms' demand.Encourage the development of agricultural products processing services.The limitation of this project is that,the results were got by cross sectional data research method,however this may reduce the power of authority as the changes of time and technology.It used the rotation Grain and oil as the primary sample,therefore the finding may have limitations to some special crop.
