What are the Determinants of Willingness to Transfer Out Large-Scale Land in Region X of China

Abstract

In 2020, the cotton output of region X accounted for 87% of the country’s total cotton output with its high degree, large-scale production. We analyzed region X's willingness to transfer land out and the main influencing factors. The results show that farmers have sufficient confidence in agricultural production and a strong willingness to expand the production scale. The higher the degree of education and policy mastery, the more willing they are to transfer out land management rights. The higher the number of labor force, the larger the area of cultivated land. When the type of crop planted is cotton, the higher the proportion of agricultural income is. The farmers who think that transferring land out is risky behavior are less willing to transfer out the land. Analyzing the problems of large-scale farming in region X can provide a helpful reference for the development of China’s modern agriculture.
