Study On Influencing Factors Of Farmers’ Willingness To Grow Grain In Changde City,Hunan Province

Food is related to national prosperity and people’s livelihood.Developing food production and ensuring food security are fundamental and important tasks.Raising farmers’ willingness to grow food to ensure and increase food production capacity is an important work in agriculture and rural areas.As a major grain production city in China,Changde city is known as the "Dongting granary".However,in recent years,grain planting and production are unstable and development is insufficient,which is also the result of farmers’ low willingness to grow grain to a certain extent.Therefore,it is necessary to analyze the willingness of farmers to grow grain and its influencing factors in Changde city,so as to do a good job in the production development and security of grain.Based on the theory of farmer behavior,incentive theory,planned behavior theory and public finance theory,this paper studies the influencing factors of farmers’willingness to grow grain in Changde City by using the methods of investigation and empirical study.First of all,from the analysis of grain planting situation,it is found that the planting area of grain crops is generally decreasing,grain output and grain yield per unit unit are generally increasing,there is still a lot of room for improvement in the level of grain planting mechanization,the development of high-standard farmland and efficient water-saving regions is unbalanced,and Taoyuan County,Lixian County,Dingcheng County,Hanshou County and Shimen County develop rapidly.Wuling District,Jinshi City,Changde City Economic Development Zone,Liuye Lake Tourism resort and other slow development.Secondly,the descriptive analysis of the farmers’willingness to grow grain and its influencing factors in Changde City found that the farmers in Changde city generally expressed reluctance or general willingness to grow grain,and the willingness to grow grain was not strong.The willingness to grow grain was affected by the characteristics of the farmers themselves,the characteristics of the farmers’ families,and the characteristics of the farmers’ policy cognition.Multiple Logit regression analysis was carried out on 15 factors affecting the willingness of farmers to grow grain,and eight factors significantly affecting the willingness of farmers to grow grain were obtained.The significance from large to small is farmland plot,cultivated land area,satisfaction with socialized agricultural services,evaluation of the implementation effect of agricultural insurance,satisfaction with grain purchase work,proportion of annual income from grain growing,evaluation of grain subsidy policy,education level,and gender.Finally,the following countermeasures were put forward according to the influencing factors of grain planting in Changde City:first,promote the concentration of farmers’ grain fields.Village collective organizations carried out land exchange,encouraged and guided farmers to voluntarily adjust land parcels,and realized the concentration of grain fields.Second,we should increase socialized services for grain farmers.Socialized service subjects provide farmers with socialized services in the whole process of grain production before,during and after grain planting from the aspects of grain planting information service,grain planting technology service,grain planting machinery service,agricultural materials supply service,capital and credit service.Third,we will increase the effective supply of grain insurance services.Insurance institutions should establish and perfect a scientific loss determination mechanism,simplify the business process of grain insurance,and comprehensively increase the coverage rate of grain insurance.Fourth,improve job satisfaction with grain acquisition.The Changde Municipal Bureau of Grain and Material Reserves standardized the work of grain purchase,strengthened the responsibility of multiple parties in the purchase,urged grain enterprises to implement the preparation for grain collection,and improved the efficiency of grain purchase.Fifth,we need to increase grain subsidies.The Changde municipal government has accurately implemented various policies benefiting farmers and subsidies to protect and mobilize the willingness of all kinds of subjects to grow grain.
