An Evaluation of the Agricultural Scale Management Program in Fujian Province, China

Abstract

An evaluation index system of county’s agricultural scale management program was constructed. Based on the index system the level of county’s agricultural scale management in Fujian Province was evaluated with Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) method. According to the evaluation results, four common factors were extracted and analyzed. Fifty-eight counties in Fujian province were divided into five categories in descending order of the agricultural scale management evaluation scores. The classification results show that class 4 makes up the largest proportion in all of the five classes, and class 3 makes up the second proportion. It means that agricultural scale management of Fujian Province is still in the middle minus levels and developing of agricultural scale management is far from complete.
