Agricultural Development in the New Era Urgently Needs Policy Agricultural InsuranceWith the continuous improvement of my country's comprehensive agricultural production capacity, and the potential growth rate of agriculture exceeds the population growth rate, as well as the background of further opening up and firmly following the internationalization of agriculture, the main goals of agricultural support and protection policies inevitably require agricultural producers to continue Improve quality and efficiency competitiveness. In addition, if agricultural insurance is used as an effective means of agricultural support and protection, the most ideal choice is to return agricultural insurance to policy public welfare, which should be mainly led by finance and participated in the implementation of policy agricultural insurance by agricultural and rural authorities.

The Logic of Planting Grain for Small Farmers: The Transformation of China's Agricultural Planting Structure and Future Strategies in the Past 40 YearsThe long-term and continuous growth of China's grain since 2003 is not directly stimulated by exogenous economic factors, nor is it directly induced by agricultural tax relief and agricultural subsidy policies, but is determined by the endogenous self-execution mechanism of farmers in the process of factor flow and involvement in the agricultural division of labor. The grain-growing logic of China's small farmers is expressed through three aspects: factor allocation, land ownership expectation and deepening division of labor. The small-scale decentralized agricultural family management pattern does not constitute an obstacle to China's food security, on the contrary, it contains important organizational advantages and mobilization potential. The basic strategies of China's food security in the future include: maintaining the stability and long-term nature of agricultural family management; inducing small-scale farmers' production to be involved in the division of labor economy and integrate into the process of modern agricultural development; and adhering to the basic policy bottom line of food security in the process of factor flow.

Lowering the minimum purchase price of wheat and rice aims to better cultivate a high-quality and high-price mechanism.The state has comprehensively lowered the minimum purchase price of wheat and rice in order to enable the mechanism of high quality and good price to play a decisive role and take the road of high-quality grain development. Therefore, whether the minimum purchase price policy is implemented in the future will usually no longer play a supporting effect, so the impact on the formation of grain market prices is very limited.

The Logic and Thinking of China's Grain Price Policy ReformThe increasingly serious problems such as high grain stocks and surge in imports highlight the urgency of reforming grain price policies such as temporary storage. At present, China's grain price policy adjustment mechanism has been formed, is at an important juncture of reform. The reduction of temporary storage prices in 2015 is a transitional adjustment. Although it is conducive to protecting the interests of grain farmers, it may not help alleviate the current high corn inventory problem, and the policy adjustment is far from in place. On the contrary, if supporting measures are not taken in time, corn stocks may continue to increase in 2015, and it may also cause more serious new problems. It is suggested that in accordance with the idea of "directional policy, separation of price compensation, innovative regulation and comprehensive supporting", we should adopt the combined reform mode of "withdrawing grain price support" and "grain income subsidy", innovate the grain regulation system, and make the grain price adjustment in place in two or three years, so as to form a grain price formation mechanism based on market pricing and a farmers' interest protection mechanism with direct subsidies as the main body. To make a prompt decision, according to the "classification of disposal, phased digestion" idea, reduce the price of sales to deal with grain storage stocks.

The actual state of family farm development and policy support: international experienceFamily farms are the most common agricultural operators in most countries around the world. There are some differences in the definition and identification conditions of family farms in different countries. However, all countries agree on some core definition elements and key identification conditions of family farms. Family farms in developed countries are characterized by diverse types, high degree of specialization, gradual reduction in number, increasing scale of operation, self-management and family members as the main labor force, high degree of industrial organization and diversification of farm income sources. The formation and development of family farms in developed countries are inseparable from the corresponding institutional environment and support policies. Among them, the agricultural land system is the basic institutional environment, the government support policy is a strong backing, the agricultural education and training system is an important propeller, and the agricultural society The service system is an important support.

Problems and Solutions of Implementing the New Strategy of Precision Poverty AlleviationOver the past 30 years of reform and opening up, China's poverty alleviation work has made remarkable achievements, from widespread poverty, regional poverty to basic to solve the transformation of poverty, the number of people living in poverty has decreased by 0.67 billion compared with 1978, becoming the first country in the world to achieve the United Nations Millennium Development Goal of halving the number of people living in poverty. However, our country still faces an arduous task of poverty alleviation. The latest data show that there are still 70.71 million poor people in rural areas in China by 2014, and the problem of lagging development in poor areas has not been fundamentally changed. At present, there are only five years to achieve a well-off society in 2020, and poverty alleviation is very urgent. According to the changes in the situation, it is an important task and a major responsibility for our country to adjust the poverty alleviation strategy in a timely manner and effectively achieve "real poverty alleviation and real poverty alleviation.

Reflections on the Scale of Agricultural Management in ChinaOnly by expanding the scale of the farm above the bottom line of farm economic sustainability can there be a chance to alleviate a series of other problems in agriculture, otherwise any agricultural policy measures will actually only cure the symptoms rather than the root cause. This moderate scale varies from time to time and from place to place, and we should pay attention to the comparison of country, industry and policy objectives, and adopt appropriate ways and means according to the local conditions at that time.

Analysis on the Operation of Village-level Collective EconomyIn 2014, in order to cooperate with the National Survey Team's Thousand Villages Survey Plan, the Jiangsu Survey Team of the National Bureau of Statistics and the Rural Development Research Institute of the Academy of Social Sciences jointly organized and implemented a questionnaire survey on the operation of the rural economy in Jiangsu. This survey randomly sampled 49 administrative villages in 49 counties (cities, districts) (16 in southern Jiangsu, 13 in central Jiangsu, and 20 in northern Jiangsu). Bao Zongshun investigated the operation of the collective economy of 49 sample villages (total income, total expenditure, assets and liabilities, economic operation capacity and community stock cooperatives) in his article "Analysis of the Operation of the Village Collective Economy", and found that the average collective income level of Jiangsu villages is very high, but the gap between regions and between villages is large; there are obvious differences in village collective expenditure between regions; there is a large gap between the north and the south of village collective total assets; the structure of village collective liabilities is non-production and operating liabilities, and the construction unit becomes the main creditor of village collective liabilities. Zhou Chunfang pointed out in the article "Investigation and Analysis on the Scale Management and Circulation of Land in Jiangsu" that the scale of land management of farmers in Jiangsu has been divided, which is manifested as the coexistence of landless farmers and large operators. Under the national conditions of more people and less land, land circulation is the premise and foundation to realize the scale management of agriculture, to further promote agricultural scale management, we need to deepen the rural land reform system, establish a benign mechanism of land circulation, improve the level of rural social security and promote the "people-oriented" urbanization strategy. From Cao Mingxia's "Analysis of Household Income and Expenditure and Property Situation of Jiangsu Farmers", it can be found that the per capita income of Jiangsu farmers is much higher than the national level, and the living consumption expenditure of farmers is mainly daily expenses, and the main family property mainly includes contracted land, homestead, housing and household large durable consumer goods. In view of the difficulty of increasing the income of farmers in Jiangsu Province, this paper also puts forward the strategies of deepening rural reform, developing modern agriculture and accelerating the innovation of agricultural science and technology system.

Can Land Stock Cooperative System Reduce the Transaction Cost of Farmland Transfer? -- A Sample Survey from 300 Villages in Jiangsu ProvinceThe transfer of agricultural labor has brought opportunities to the breeding of China's agricultural land market, and the reform of the agricultural land system, especially the strengthening of contractual management rights, has promoted the development of the agricultural land market. While supporting these early research views, this paper also analyzes the role of agricultural land transfer intermediary organizations in promoting agricultural land transfer. Based on the questionnaire survey data of 300 villages in Jiangsu Province, this paper uses PSM method to eliminate the problems of selective deviation and endogenicity, and uses Tobit and other models for empirical analysis. The results show that land stock cooperatives play an important role in the circulation and concentration of agricultural land and the participation of a variety of new business entities in agriculture. Through the intermediary role of cooperatives in land circulation, transaction costs can be saved and the circulation of land management rights can be accelerated.

The nature of property rights, the heterogeneity of institutional investors and investment efficiency-based on the empirical evidence of China's agricultural listing Corporation【Author】 Zhu Xinkai; Xu Xingmei; school of Agriculture and Rural Development, Renmin University of China; International College, Renmin University of China; 【Abstract】 Based on the unbalanced panel data of China's agricultural listed companies from 1999 to 2014, this paper studies the relationship among property rights, institutional investor heterogeneity and investment efficiency. It can be found that institutional investor ownership helps to overcome the inefficient investment of agricultural listed companies, but this governance effect is only reflected in private holding companies, and is limited in state-owned holding companies. Further examining the heterogeneity of institutional investors in private holding companies (divided into stable institutional investors and trading institutional investors), the results show that compared with trading institutional investors, stable institutional investors play a more active role as supervisors in overcoming the inefficient investment of agricultural listed companies. Careful consideration of the different governance scenarios of agricultural listed companies will help to promote the real governance function of institutional investors according to local conditions. 【Key words】 Property Rights; Heterogeneity of Institutional Investors; Investment Efficiency; [Fund] The phased results of the Ministry of Agriculture's soft science research project "Research on the Integration and Development of the One, Two and Three Industries" (Project No. D201603) [Journal Column] Economy and Management (No. 01, 2016) responsible Editor: Zhai TianchangPDF

At present, the generally accepted "tight balance" is the false equilibrium under the continuous high-intensity government support policy] core point of view: 1. The current generally accepted "tight balance" of food supply and demand is a false equilibrium with market distortion, but in fact it is unbalanced and there is a huge demand gap. 2.
