Comparative Study and Optimization of PollutioN-free Vegetable Production Organization Models in Shandong Province

摘要

In recent years, some agriculture products toxic incidents caused by poisoning cowpea and poisoning leek had become the public's focus with widespread concem in China, consequently the development of green pollution-free agricultural products has been an inevitable trend. As an important solution to the problem of quality safety of agricultural products, the pollution-free vegetable production has become the market focus and development direction in the vegetable supply markets. However, lots of problems still exist in pollution-free vegetable production organization models and their external developing conditions, which not only seriously restrict the role of pollution-free vegetable industry in promoting the rural economy and. agricultural development, but also weaken its capacity for the sustainable development of the pollution-free vegetable industry. Therefore, both from the self development of vegetable industry andfrom the development of the intemational demand of pollution-free vegetable industry as well as the development of agriculture and rural economy, it is necessary to carry out a comparative study on pollution-free vegetable production organization models and their efficiencies.
　　 Starting from the industry organization theory, economic efficiency theory andmarketing theory, the production organization models and their efficiencies arestudied theoretically as the analysis basis of the pollution-free vegetable productionorganization model. The history and current situation of pollution-free vegetableproduction in Shandong are described according to existing data. Further empiricalresearch is performed by studying current situation of present pollution-free vegetableproduction. A qualitative description and comparative analysis is carried out forfarmer family production model (farmer model), vegetable association model(association model), farmers' specialized cooperative model (cooperative model),modern agricultural company model (company model), and industry integrationmodel (industry model), then the advantages and disadvantages of all possibleproduction organization models are summarized synthetically. After that a qualitativeanalysis is made in two ways for all the pollution-free vegetable productionorganization models above according to statistical survey data obtained in Qingdaoand Weifang. The first is a comparison between cost structure and output gains; thesecond is an empirical analysis by means of the data envelopment analysis (DEA)method. Based on a comprehensive evaluation for all models, the optimumpollution-free vegetable production organization model is finally filtered out. On thebasis of this model and a combination of theory and survey as well, it is concludedthat a vertical integration model of
