Study on the Impact of Agricultural Digitization on the Output of Agricultural Products in China

Abstract

With the popularization of the Internet and the promotion of Rural Revitalization Strategy, agricultural digitization has attracted the attention of many scholars. The study of agricultural digitization has important theoretical and practical significance for the development of agriculture. This paper selects the time series data from 2012 to 2020 and takes the agricultural output value as the explanatory variable. The number of agricultural broadband access users, Internet penetration and optical cable line length are selected as the statistical indicators of agricultural digitization. The entropy method is used to weight the three statistical indicators, and finally a weighted index is obtained as the main explanatory variable. At the same time, the total power of agricultural machinery, effective irrigation area and net amount of chemical fertilizer application were selected as explanatory variables. This paper analyzes the impact of agricultural digitization on the output of agricultural products in China by using row linear regression method. Finally, it summarizes the impact of agricultural digitization on agricultural gross output value, and puts forward corresponding policy suggestions.
