The Economy of Chinese Rural Households

Abstract

This chapter consists of eight sections: Basic Situation, Scope of Production and Management, Agricultural Labor Force, Instruments of Agricultural Production, Agricultural Land, Procurement of Agricultural Materials, Total Output Value of Family Farming and Sales Revenue, as well as Agricultural Subsidy. Besides the vast majority of rural households, some urban families are also engaged in agricultural production and management activities (collectively referred to as “agricultural families”), so the sample agricultural families involved in this chapter include rural household samples and urban households engaged in agricultural production and management, totaling 12,035.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In order to thoroughly compare the differences in the area of cultivated land in different regions, this section separates the northeast region from the central region, in which includes Heilongjiang province, Jilin province and Liaoning province.

  2. 2.

    Results of the statistics show that the area of agricultural production and management of agricultural families in urban areas has increased significantly, which may be due to the comparatively small number of samples observed in the urban areas, with the total number of samples being only 710 in 2015 and 1744 in 2013.
