Abstract

The modern agricultural production system plays a vital role in agricultural production efficiency. Based on the country's vigorous promotion of large-scale operation of rural land moderately, this paper has discovered that there exists an inverted U-type relationship between farmland scale management and agricultural productivity through the panel data from 2002-2016 in 31differernt regions in China, the current optimal farmland operation scale is 3.94hm2. Furthermore, we compare the agricultural productivity among three regions that divided by the Geography, and get the conclusion that agricultural development has regional heterogeneity. At present, farmland management scale is far less than the optimal one, therefore, it is important to keep on improving farmland scale management. Simultaneously, the government needs to arrange agricultural production according to local conditions, and ultimately to realize the diversified development of agriculture.
