Study on adjustment direction for agriculture industry structure at current stage in Guangdong Based on analysis of its evolution and motives since the implementation of reform and open policy

The transformation of agricultural structure affects the agricultural economic growth and farmers' income significantly. For 35 years, the trend of the three industries in GDP of Guangdong is that the first industry (agriculture) decreases significantly, and the secondary industry changes little, and the tertiary industry has been rising. Although the contribution of the first industry declines in GDP, but after four times of adjustment of agricultural structure, planting decreases greatly (especially food crops), animal husbandry and fishery rises steadily, there has been an emerging structural features, such as agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery services, so that in the case of agricultural land resources to be diverted, Guangdong still achieve the agricultural synergism, farmer income. The agricultural structure adjustment of Guangdong is the result of joint action among the policy driven, domestic and international market demand pull and the agricultural technology promoting. Since the new century, facing the pressure and challenges such as the agricultural production factors are increasingly scarce, global temperature rises gradually, the market demand of agricultural products changes again. At the next phase, the adjustment of agricultural structure of Guangdong should focus on three directions, including low carbon agriculture, aricultural products quality and the agricultural benefit efficiency. Finally, we should make the the structure of agricultural products, agricultural regional structure and the rural industrial structure of Guangdong develop and extent deeply.
