Abstract
A team of American and Chinese geographers investigates the technical changes, changes in markets, and new production methods that have allowed the profitable production of vegetables almost year-round near Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province on the North China Plain. Based on a case study of 160 farm households, and adopting a micro-economic approach, the authors analyze household data through regression analysis to determine the most important technical adoptions, household characteristics, and marketing strategies as measured by net and gross returns per mu of vegetables at the field and farm scales.
