How far is China from agricultural modernization?

Introduction: according to a research report entitled "research and Empirical Analysis on the process of China's agricultural modernization" issued by the National Bureau of statistics of the food and agricultural policy research and survey Association of the United States, as of 2001, the target value of China's agricultural modernization has not been completed by 1 / 3; the development of the East, middle and west regions is significantly different; compared with developed countries, China's per capita agricultural product share is still quite low The task of realizing agricultural modernization in China is still quite arduous Agricultural modernization refers to the process of transformation from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture It is the modernization of agricultural comprehensive production capacity Under certain production conditions, agricultural labor with modern quality can produce high-quality agricultural products that can meet the needs of the society by using modern agricultural production means According to this idea, according to the specific situation of China and the availability of statistical data, the researchers established the evaluation index system of China's agricultural modernization The system takes agricultural production means, agricultural labor force, agricultural output capacity and agricultural production conditions as the primary system, and selects representative indicators in each primary system, which is composed of 16 indexes By using the evaluation index system of China's agricultural modernization, the agricultural modernization process of the whole country and the eastern, central and western regions in 1998-2001 was calculated, and the analysis and evaluation of the national agricultural modernization process was made in the report From the perspective of the whole country, the index of agricultural modernization is increasing year by year, but the process is relatively slow China has only taken less than one third of the way to realize agricultural modernization, and the province with the lowest index has only taken less than one fifth of the way Shanghai and Beijing, which are in the forefront of the agricultural modernization index, have gone nearly two-thirds of the way, and have explored some useful experiences for the realization of agricultural modernization in China Hqh from the four elements of the agricultural modernization index, the main reason for the low agricultural modernization index is the low agricultural production means and agricultural output capacity In terms of agricultural means of production, in 2001, the index of agricultural means of production was 20.36%, far from the target value It has just completed 1 / 5 of the journey, which is significantly lower than other constituent indexes The data shows that the calculated values of the six sub indexes are not high, among which the agricultural science and technology level and agricultural electrification level are the lowest, and the realization degree of the target value in 2001 is only 5.41% and 6.99%; the realization degree of agricultural informatization level is only 20.66%; in addition, the calculation results of agricultural mechanization level, agricultural water conservancy level and agricultural improved variety level are 30.29% and 42.57% respectively And 37.98% This is the reason why the modernization of agricultural means of production is not high Therefore, in order to improve the modernization of agricultural means of production, we must also comprehensively improve the level of agricultural six, especially pay attention to the investment in agricultural science and technology In terms of agricultural labor force, the agricultural labor force index is the highest among the four elements of agricultural modernization, reaching 64.44% in 2001, nearly completing two-thirds of the journey From the perspective of the two secondary systems that constitute the agricultural labor force index, the quality of agricultural labor force improves with the passage of time, but the annual increase is less than 1 percentage point The proportion index of non-agricultural workers increased slowly from 1998 to 2000, less than 1 percentage point per year, but increased by more than 2 percentage points over the previous year in 2001 In terms of agricultural output capacity, hqh is still 4 / 5 away from the target value The regional difference of agricultural output capacity is relatively large, and the highest province is nearly six times of the lowest province Through comparison, it is found that provinces with high agricultural output capacity have high agricultural modernization index, which shows that agricultural output capacity has strong correlation with agricultural modernization From the four factors that constitute the agricultural output capacity, the agricultural labor productivity and farmers' income are less than 1 / 3 of the target value, and the average agricultural output and agricultural support capacity are less than 1 / 5 Hqh from the definition of indicators, we can see that the main reasons for the low agricultural productivity, average agricultural output and agricultural support capacity are the high proportion of agricultural population and agricultural workers in the employment population Therefore, in order to improve agricultural output capacity, we should start with accelerating the pace of urbanization and increasing farmers' income In terms of agricultural production conditions, hqh was 52.83% in 2001, just over half of the target value According to the change of agricultural production condition index in four years, the national agricultural production condition index decreased year by year from 1998 to 2000, and rose again in 2001 According to the four secondary indexes of agricultural production condition index, the average level of market environment is relatively good, the index realization degree of most provinces and cities is more than 50%, and there is little difference between regions The best is Zhejiang, with a market environment index of 85.12%, less than double the lowest province Except for Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Jiangxi, Hubei and Shanghai, the realization degree of other provinces is less than 50% There are 18 provinces and cities with more than 50% realization of crop growth environment index.
