摘要:

“大国小农”是中国的基本国情,小农户能否进入现代农业发展轨道成为决定中国现代农业发展成败的关键所在。促进小农户采纳现代农业生产技术是提升小农户内生发展能力的重要途径之一。本文运用中国14省(区)1449份调研农户数据,探讨互联网使用对小农户在农业生产不同环节技术采纳的影响。研究发现:互联网使用能够显著促进农户农业生产技术采纳,相比于未使用互联网的小农户,使用互联网的小农户作物新品种、节水灌溉技术和秸秆还田技术采纳的概率分别提高0.200倍、0.157倍和0.155倍;互联网使用对低教育程度、接受培训和高收入等小农户的影响更明显;政府应该强化农村互联网基础设施建设,推动互联网使用的普惠性。


Abstract: China is characterized as ‘a large country with many smallholder farmers’ whose participation in modern agriculture is key to the country’s modern agriculture development.  Promoting smallholder farmers’ adoption of modern agricultural production technology is one effective way to improve the capabilities of smallholder farmers.  This paper aims to explore the impact of Internet use on the adoption of agricultural production technology by smallholder farmers based on a survey of 1 449 smallholders across 14 provinces in China.  The results suggest that Internet use can significantly promote technology adoption, with the probability of adopting new crop varieties, water-saving irrigation technology and straw-returning technology increasing by 0.200, 0.157 and 0.155, respectively.  Furthermore, the effect of Internet use is found to be heterogeneous with a greater effect on smallholder farmers having low education levels, limited training, and high incomes.  To increase agricultural production technology adoption by smallholders, rural Internet infrastructure and Internet use promotion should be the focus for the Chinese government.
