Abstract
Policy itself is not the direct factor of production, but the effective policy may affect the agricultural development direction and its efficiency through changing the disposition environments of agricultural production factors and the relative price. The major grain producing areas play a most important role in guaranteeing the national grain security. If there is something wrong with them, the national gain security and the social stability will be in great danger. From1997 to 2003, the increasing rate of the farmer's per capita income never surpassed 5% within 7 year, which is only equivalent to half of the yearly average growth of the city inhabitant's income over the same period. The result is that the rural-urban gap becomes larger and larger. In particular, since 1996 our grain production has reached a record high with partially surplus. The grain price glides down continuously, and the increase of the farmer's income in the major gain producing areas is even slower than the national average. It has brought great threat to the national grain security and the entire social stability. To solve the problems, our new government started the new agricultural policy. The policy takes "three mending, one reducing" as the main content, takes "dive more, take less and be more flexible" as the main features, and takes "increase grain production steadily, add the farmers' income continuously" as the subject, which provides a good idea to increase the farmers' income (especially the farmers in main production area).
Based on the correlative domestic support theories and policy effect in agriculture, the second and third chapter analyze the factors which can lead to the growth of the farmers' income, and thus put forward to the suggestion for adjusting our domestic agricultural policy. With the improved Solow model, the fourth chapter has demonstrated the direct contribution rate of our agricultural policy since the founding of the nation, using the research data in 5 major grain-producing areas. The fifth and sixth chapter point out the problem existing in our domestic support policies after studying the present situation of the farmers' income in our nation, and brings forward the objective request for the reforming and adjusting agriculture domestic support policy, and finally puts forward the concrete proposals to perfect the new agriculture policy so as to build the long-mechanism to grow the peasants' income in the major grain-producing areas.
