治理与流通之间:家户生产韧性的再考察——以安溪茶产业的发展历程为例

Between Governance and Circulation:A Reexamination of Household Production Resilience—— A Case Study of Anxi Tea Industry

家户生产是乡村特色产业发展和转型的动力来源。不同于其他研究主要从家户生产的内部结构和社会文化脉络进行解释,本文将家户生产置于政府产业治理和商业流通过程中加以理解。通过对福建安溪茶产业四十来年发展历程的考察,本文发现家户生产的韧性有赖于其在生产过程中应对外部环境变化的灵活性。这种灵活性恰恰是在政策引导下、与流通网络相互配合而产生的。政府的产业治理是农户以茶为生并使茶叶获得更高市场价值的前提;茶商在城乡之间所起的枢纽作用是农户贯彻其时变逻辑的关键。本研究既增加了理解家户生产韧性的维度,也提供了一种政府、农户和商人三者形成合力的特色产业发展路径。

Household production serves as the primary driving force for the development and transformation of rural specialty industries.Differing from explanations primarily focusing on the internal structure and socio-cultural context of household production,this paper situates household production within the framework of governmental industrial governance and commercial circulation.Through examining the four-decade development history of the Anxi tea industry in Fujian Province,this paper reveals that the resilience of household production hinges on its production flexibility to adapt to changes in the external environment.This flexibility is precisely cultivated under policy guidance and in coordination with the circulation network.Governmental industrial governance serves as a prerequisite for farmers to make a living from tea and for tea to attain higher market value.The pivotal role of tea merchants bridging urban-rural divides is crucial for farmers in implementing their logic changing over time.This study enriches the understanding of household resilience and offers a path for specialty industry development through the collaborative efforts of the government,farmers,and merchants.
