“企业+农户”中的区域垄断与农户一体化问题

Regional Monopoly and Farmer-integration

区域垄断与农户一体化是伴随着农业企业的横向并购和规模扩张而产生的两个特殊现象,它们对农户有两种相互矛盾的影响:一方面由于其改善了农户的生产能力与市场交易能力,能够提高农户收入;另一方面,由于合作控制所导致的对农户的"锁定",会强化农户的依附性进而牺牲农户的利益。为此,本文利用农户与企业两个层次的实地调查问卷数据,对区域垄断和农户一体化对农户的影响进行了实证分析。研究发现,在企业规模较大时,区域垄断对农户的合作满意度有一定的负面影响,而企业绩效较好时,区域垄断对合作满意度有正面影响;农户一体化则直接促进了合作满意度的提高。本文的结论应成为制定资本市场支持"三农"发展政策的参考。

Regional monopoly and farmer-integration are two particular phenomena come with horizontal M＆A and expansion of agribusiness. The consequences of them are conflicting： on the one hand, they enhance the farmers＇ production capacity and market trading capabilities and then improve farmers＇ incomes; on the other hand, a result of cooperative control for farmers＇ ＂hold up＂ will strengthen the dependence of thrmers on agribusiness and thus sacrifice the interests of farmers. In this article, with the field survey data from farmers and agribusiness, we analyze the effect of regional monopoly and farmer-integration on farmers＇ cooperation satisfaction. The results show that when the firm size is large, regional monopoly has negative effect on the farmers＇ cooperation satisfaction, while when the performance is high, regional monopoly has positive effect; farmer-integration directly improve cooperation satisfaction. The conclusions should be the reference for the capital markets supporting measures of the ＂three rural＂ development.
