ABSTRACT: At present, the land fragmentation caused by small-scale production and management of farmers restricts the promotion of agricultural
modernization in China. In response to the national rural revitalization
strategy, it is the current trend of agricultural development to build a new
socialist countryside with strong agriculture, beautiful rural areas and rich
farmers, and to encourage small-scale farmers to operate in an appropriate
scale. In this context, this study took 326 households of farmers in Zhejiang province
as samples, and adopted binary logistic model to analyze the influencing
factors of farmers’ land scale management intention, so as to explore ways to
improve farmers’ scale management intention. The results show that three
important factors, distance from the nearest agricultural trade market,
planting years and agricultural technology
training, have a significant impact on the willingness of farmers to operate on a large scale, and
accordingly, corresponding policy suggestions
are put forward to promote the promotion of agricultural scale.
