A Poverty Alleviation-oriented Study on the Factors Influencing Peanut Cultivation

Abstract

In the context of continued poverty alleviation and high demand in China, the plantation industry is an indispensable way to help farmers get rich. China is the world's top producer of peanuts and the world's top consumer of peanuts, and the demand for peanuts is very high. Therefore, promoting peanut production by farmers can not only increase chemical production, but also bring farmers income and get rid of poverty. So it is of great significance to explore how to promote peanut cultivation. On the basis of previous research, this paper lists four factors affecting the peanut planting area, and finds the data of 16 provinces in China from 2012 to 2021, and carries out regression analysis. From the results, it can be seen that the government gives subsidies and strengthens the degree of mechanization can significantly increase the peanut planting area. When the number of employees reaches a certain level, further increase will fail to improve the output and have a negative impact. This concludes that government subsidies and increased mechanization can promote peanut cultivation, which in turn promotes poverty alleviation in an efficient manner.
