Analysis on Influencing Factors of Farmers' Cultivated Land Transfer in Poor Mountainous Areas Under the Background of Rural Revitalization——A Case Study of Heshun County, Shanxi Province

【Objective】This paper analyzed the influencing factors of farmer's cultivated land transfer and explored a more effective guiding mechanism to promote the cultivated land circulation. 【Method】Based on confirmation of land right in rural areas, sampling survey and in-home interview of rural householders, methods of Logistic model and Tobit model were established. 【Result】The results showed that: (1) The cultivated land transfer market in the study area was relatively active. About 74% of the farmers participate in the circulation of cultivated land, and the rate of transfer-out cases were higher than that of the transfer-in. (2) Factors that significantly affect farmers to transfer-in the cultivated land include the number of part-time workers, the labor force, the cash crops planted and the agricultural insurance, each with a significance level of 90%; while factors that obviously lead farmers to transfer-out cultivated land were the age of the head of a household, the highest education level of a household, the annual income per capita, the per capita area of cultivated land and the agricultural insurance, each with a significance level of 90%. (3) The social security in poor mountainous areas could effectively avoid the risk of farmland circulation and activated the market of farmland circulation. 【Conclusion】In conclusion, the rural land transfer policy should be reformed reasonably for rural development and encourage the development of major agriculture-specialized households and family farms on the basis of improving the agricultural production skills of transferin households. At the same time, the non-agriculture households are encouraged to liberalize the cultivated land management rights on the basis of improving their cultural literacy and competence in non-agriculture employment.
