Abstract

Farmers’ production behaviors were important factors which caused quality safety problems of agro-products. Based on the survey in parts of four provinces of Sichuan, Gansu, Henan and Hubei, from the perspective of behaviors of production information acquisition and decision-making behaviors of material inputs, this paper analyzed quality safety of agro-products influenced by farmers’ production behaviors in production process. After the analysis, this paper discussed the countermeasures that could guarantee the quality safety of agro-products.

Highlights

  • Farmers’ production behaviors refer to a general item of a series of activities, which is in certain social environment and in order to satisfy certain goals, that has taken by farmers in the material products production process, mainly including agriculture to produce antenatal, produce medium, postpartum

  • By producing agricultural products according to prescribed technical factors and the operating rules, choosing production seed breeds scientifically and reasonably, using agricultural inputs accorded with the national requirements such as pesticide, fertilizer and auxin and so on, can farmers produce safe agricultural products which are meeting the quality standard

  • This paper started with the inputs of pesticides, chemical fertilizers and auxin which are the most important factors influencing safe production of agricultural products, analyzing the influences of farmers’ decision behaviors in the producing process to quality safety of agricultural products

Summary

Introduction

Farmers’ production behaviors refer to a general item of a series of activities, which is in certain social environment and in order to satisfy certain goals, that has taken by farmers in the material products production process, mainly including agriculture to produce antenatal, produce medium, postpartum. Improper use of agricultural inputs such as pesticide, fertilizer and auxin and so on in order to seek the maximum outputs and profits, which seriously influenced the agro-products quality safety The factors such as lower level of safety production technology, weak safe production consciousness seriously restricted the farmers’ safe production behaviors. Farmers are lacking of understanding on rational use rules and standard production operation specification about agricultural inputs, which urgently needs government technical guidance and services (Feng & Li, 2007) It has a very important realistic significance to discuss how to standardize farmers’ production behavior to ensure agricultural safety in production links and comprehensively enhance the quality safety level of agricultural products in China
