Although farmers do not own the ownership of farmland in China

the status of agricultural land to the traditional farmers is irreplaceable

for it is the factor of production and the last guarantee for survival of the peasants. From the way of circulation

subcontracting is the main form of cultivated land transfer. In this way

farmland has been continuously concentrated to farmers who good at cultivate

and the proportion of households with moderate scale has increased significantly. This is fully in line with the 野Schultz hypothesis冶

that is

the principle of efficiency priority. From the perspective of the process of rural land transfer

although the government strongly supports it

it is still a distance from the real rural land transfer market

which is affected by the small scale of cultivated land and the low level of economic development.From the inter village perspective

there are obvious regional differences between the rural households in terms of their scale

structure and quality

and the frequency and intensity of their circulation. This is influenced by geographical location and historical reasons.
