New Agricultural Productivity,New Agricultural Business Entities and Integration of Rural Industries
New agricultural productivity has injected new impetus into the integrated development of rural industries.This paper conducts a theoretical analysis of how new agricultural productivity drives the integration of rural industries based on Marx's theory of the four links of social reproduction.The evaluation index system of new agricultural productivity is constructed,and the comprehensive index of new agricultural productivity and rural industry integration development is calculated based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2021.On this basis,an empirical study is conducted to examine the impact and driving mechanism of new agricultural productivity on the integration of rural industries.The results show that:Firstly,the new agriculture productivity drives the integrated development of rural industries with significant direct impact in general.Secondly,new agricultural business entities such as farmer cooperatives,family farms and agricultural leading enterprises are the key paths for the integrated development of rural industries driven by new agricultural productivity,and the mediator effect of family farms and farmer cooperatives is significantly greater than that of leading agricultural enterprises.Thirdly,the driving effect of new agricultural productivity on the integrated development of rural industries in non-agricultural areas is greater than that in rural areas,and the driving effect of new agricultural productivity on the integrated development of rural industries is significant in areas with high rural education level,but not in areas with low rural education level.Fourthly,there is a spatial spillover effect of new agricultural productivity on rural industrial integration within the geographical boundary of 550 km,and the spatial spillover coefficient shows an inverted"U"shaped characteristic of first rising and then decreasing.In the new development paradigm,it is necessary to rationally lay out new agricultural business entities,strengthen the coordination and linkage among new factors of production in the new agricultural productivity,and promote high-quality agricultural development.
