An Empirical Study On The Impact Of The Support Policies Of Collective Forest Reform On Foresters' Production And Management Efficiency

In 2008,a new round of collective forest tenure reforms(hereinafter collectively referred to as “collective forestry reforms”)were launched nationwide,and collective forestry reforms were to achieve the basic goals of “resource growth,foresters' income increase,forest area harmony,and good ecology”.As a key collective forest area in the South,collective forests in Jiangxi Province account for 85% of the total forest area,and in 2003 together with Fujian Province,the earliest collective forestry reform pilot project began,By the end of 2006,the main reform of collective forestry reform in Jiangxi Province has been basically completed.In order to further activate the productivity of forestry and promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional forestry,the government has introduced supporting reform policies such as "forest rights mortgage loan,forest insurance,and forestry cooperatives".Therefore,it is of great significance to explore the implementation effect of the collective forestry reform supporting policy.This paper takes the data of 364 foresters from 10 forestry counties(cities)in Jiangxi province in 2004 and 2010-2016 as samples,and uses the theory of property rights,institutional change theory,and farmers' behavior theory as the theoretical support to analyze the supporting policies of collective forestation reform to forestry agriculture.The impact of production and operating efficiency.Based on this,it puts forward policy suggestions for improving the supporting policy of collective forestation reform and improving foresters' production and operation efficiency.The main conclusions of the study:(1)Sample foresters are highly satisfied with the main policies of collective forestry reform,The enthusiasm of forestry production and management after the collective forest reform has been improved,the number of afforestation has increased significantly,and the ecological environment has been effectively improved.(2)The sample of foresters participating in the cooperative policies,forestry insurance,forestry technology services and other supporting policies accounted for a relatively small number of households,but overall it showed an upward trend.From the perspective of the implementation of the supporting policies,policies such as afforestation subsidies and childcare subsidies have not been implemented and transparency is low;Forest rights mortgage loan and forest loan discount loan conditions are still relatively high,and sample foresters have a low percentage of secured mortgage loans.Foresters have a higher demand for such policies as "improving forestry infrastructure,increasing the scale of afforestation subsidies,raising subsidy standards,and advancing science and technology services into villages".(3)Forestry forestry investment and forestry income have increased significantly since the collective forest reform.After the collective forest reform,the sample foresters purchased forest seedlings,purchased forestry fertilizers and pesticides,and the number of labor input showed an overall upward trend.The overall investment in forestry has increased,and foresers have increased their investment in forestry.However,in the input structure,the current investment in forestry production is mainly based on labor force,accounting for more than 80%;From the analysis of the income of foresers,after the collective forest reform,the income of foresters increased continuously,and the income structure of forestry continued to improve.(4)The comprehensive efficiency of the forestry production of the sample foresters was low,Resource optimization configuration is not obvious.The inefficiency rate of pure technical efficiency below 0.4 is serious,accounting for 78.02% of the total ratio,This shows that the sample farmers surveyed have low technical efficiency,and they have not fully used forestry production science and technology to achieve optimal allocation of forestry science and technology resources.The average efficiency of sample foresters is 0.4653,Field surveys have found that the fragmentation of forest land has increased the forestry and forest land production costs to a certain extent.(5)TPolicies on forestry insurance,forestry science and technology services,forestry cooperatives and other policies for collective forestry reform support the promotion of forestry farmers' forestry production and operation efficiency.According to the order of magnitude of impact,participating in forestry insurance and participating in forestry cooperatives has the most critical impact on the efficiency of forestry production,all of which have significant effects at the 1% level.Countermeasures and suggestions:First,Strengthen the propaganda work of the collective forestry reform supporting policy;Second,promote the development of forestry cooperatives and give play to the role of cooperatives;Third,we must start with many aspects to improve the forestry insurance system;Fourth,improve the forestry science and technology service system and increase the supply level and efficiency;Fifth,improve forest infrastructure construction and improve the forestry and forestry management level;Sixth,the number of forest lands will be integrated to reduce the degree of decentralization.
