THE IMPACT OF PARTICIPATING IN COOPERATIVES ON THE GREEN PRODUCTION TRANSFORMATION OF CITRUS GROWERS
The deteriorating resource and environmental conditions have brought enormous challenges to the sustainable development of the citrus industry.Promoting the green production transformation of citrus growers is an important means to maintain the sustainable development of the citrus industry and ensure the quality and safety of agricultural products.It is of great practical significance to clarify the impact of participating in cooperatives on the green production transformation of citrus growers.Based on the survey data of 1009 citrus growers in Jiangxi province,this paper used a finite mixture model to calculate the green production transformation,and adopted the endogenous switching regression model to explore the impact of participating in cooperatives on the green production transformation of citrus growers.The results were showed as follows.(1) Participating in cooperatives had a significant promoting effect on the green production transformation of citrus growers.Based on the counterfactual hypothesis,if citrus growers participating in cooperatives did not participate,their green production transformation would decrease by 0.058,while if citrus growers who did not participate in cooperatives participate,their green production transformation would increase by 0.068.(2) The mechanism analysis showed that participating in cooperatives can promote the green production transformation of citrus growers by improving income expectations,reducing risk perception,and providing financial support.(3) Finally,the heterogeneity analysis showed that complete horizontal cooperation had a greater promoting effect on the green production transformation of citrus growers than partial horizontal cooperation;cooperatives that implemented standardized production methods had a greater promoting effect on the green production transformation of citrus growers than cooperatives that did not implement standardized production methods;participating in cooperatives had a greater promoting effect on the green production transformation of growers with higher education levels,larger citrus planting areas,and a larger proportion of citrus income.Therefore,it is necessary to vigorously promote the cultivation process of cooperatives,improve the service system of cooperatives,encourage cooperatives to provide sales services and implement standardized production,guide citrus growers with different endowments to participate in cooperatives,and promote the green production transformation of citrus growers in a targeted way.
