Abstract:

Adjustment of agricultural planting structure is the main content of agricultural supply-side reform, and is also an important measure to promote farmers’ income. In order to study the impact of agricultural planting structure adjustment on agricultural mechanization, based on the panel data of 14 prefecture-level cities in Guangxi, we empirically analyzed the impact of agricultural planting structure adjustment on the development level of regional agricultural mechanization in Guangxi by the fixed-effect model. The results show that: the adjustment of agricultural planting structure has no direct impact on agricultural mechanization. Rural road facilities and agricultural operation scale have significant positive impact on the development level of regional agricultural mechanization. The increase of farmers’ income has a mediating effect on the development level of agricultural mechanization in Guangxi. According to the research results, the level of agricultural mechanization can be comprehensively improved by improving the rural infrastructure, promoting the moderate scale of agricultural operation, adjusting the agricultural planting structure and increasing farmers’ income.

Key words: agricultural planting structure, mechanization of agriculture, level of development, influence, Guangxi
