Abstract: |
This paper analyzed the samples of 321 cassava growers from Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, Hainan,Jiangxi and Fujian, and used statistical analysis methods to research the cassava production status in China. The results showed that, family labor was relatively abundant in Fujian, relatively insufficient in Hainan. Family per capita land area was the most in Yunnan with 2.41 ha, the least in Guangdong with 0.33 hm2. Guangxi and Jiangxi had the most household cassava planting area, with 1.02 hm2 and 1.05 hm2, respectively, while Guangdong had the least with 0.12 hm2. In Yunnan province, growers got the most household income up with 15 822.00 Yuan, while in Guangdong province, it was only 822.98 Yuan. On the national level, the income of planting cassava was 18 069.9 Yuan/hm2, the net income was 6 205.95 Yuan/hm2 by deducting the total cost of 11 863.95 Yuan/hm2, and the cost-profit was 52.31%. The first factor affecting cassava acreage was family land area, followed by family labor force. The first factor affecting cassava yield was artificial investment, followed by cost of material and service. In terms of cassava production capacity enlargement, in the country, Yunnan province should be first to choose for expanding cassava production potential, and then Jiangxi and Guangxi. In foreign countries, we should continue to implement and carry out the strategy of "going out", in the meantime, we should put the emphasis on the association of south-east Asian nations (asean) and Africa for the better implementation of our strategy. At last, this paper proposed several policy recommendations including to build modern industrial system for cassava cultivation, to increase the efficiency of cassava intensive cultivation technology demonstration and promotion, to build the specialty cooperative of cassava peasants, to guide farmers with efficient cassava production. |
