EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS OF AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES OF FARMERS IN GANSU PROVINCE——BASEED ON NATIONAL IMPORTANT AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES ACCOUNT
This paper aims to make an evaluative analysis of the utilization status of agricultural resources by rural households in Gansu province based on the data of national important agricultural resources accounts.Using statistical testing methods and descriptive analysis,this study examined and evaluated differences in agricultural resource utilization among rural households in different regions through comparative analysis.The results were listed as follows.(1)Cultivated land was the main type of agricultural land used by farmers,accounting for 84.72%.There were significant differences in the endowment of agricultural land resources owned by farmers in different regions.The types of agricultural land were closely related to the geographical environment of the region.In the eastern area with more rainfall,farmers had more dry land,grassland,and orchard land,while in the Hexi area with less rainfall,farmers had more irrigated land.And there were not obvious regional characteristics in facility-based agriculture.(2)Farmers had the highest proportion of investment in other agricultural facilities and equipment,reaching 52.84%.There were differences in farmers'investment in greenhouses,irrigation facilities,agricultural machinery,sheds,the Internet of Things,and other agricultural facilities and equipment between regions.Among them,the average investment of farmers in Wuwei city in greenhouses,irrigation,sheds,and other agricultural facilities and equipment was much higher than that in other regions.The investment of farmers in the Internet of Things in all regions was very low.(3)Farmers adopted more environmentally friendly and diversified ways of using straw.About 58.26%of the straw was used as fertilizer.Other uses included feed,base material and fuel.(4)The area of agricultural film used by farmers in the surveyed area accounted for about 20.93%of the planting area,and the average recovery rate of agricultural film was only 39.07%.There was an imbalance in the use of agricultural film among farmers in different regions,with the highest amount of agricultural film used per unit area in Wuwei region and the lowest amount in Longnan region.Farmers used less agricultural film in humid areas and more in arid areas.And the use of agricultural film was also related to the crop type,with vegetables and potato crops using more agricultural film per unit area.(5)The number of certified products such as green products,organic agricultural products,geographical indication agricultural products,and registered trademark products by farmers was 71,only accounting for 12.18%of the number of agricultural products planted by farmers,and the proportion of certification was relatively low.The planting area of certified agricultural products was about 43.77hm2,accounting for 12.61%of the area of agricultural products planted by farmers,and the planting area was relatively small.Among the types of certified agricultural products,green agricultural products had the highest proportion of certification,reaching 63.38%.In summary,there are differences in the utilization of agricultural resources between farmers in different regions,and showing certain regional characteristics.Therefore,each region should make the best use of local conditions and fully explore and utilize agricultural resources,as well as actively develop agricultural products with regional characteristics based on the local reality.
