บทคัดย่อ

     The production mode of China’s small farmers is mainly based on family management. With the improvement of agricultural production level, the family-based small-scale production mode affects the input and utilization effect of production due to the lack of reasonable production organization system. In this paper, we need to improve the efficiency of cooperation to address the production shortfall of China’s small farmers. Therefore, this study takes the beef cattle breeding of small farmers in Guangnan county, Yunnan Province, China as the research object, and classifies according to the beef cattle breeding cooperation objects. The objects of cooperation between Guangnan county and small farmers described in this paper include the government, enterprises, cooperatives, family farms and neighbors. In order to realize the organic connection between small farmers and the development of modern agriculture, and promote the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy in Guangnan county. The cooperation content and characteristics of the small beef cattle breeding farmers and other agricultural management stakeholders are analyzed, and the different cooperation modes are compared. It is found that the cooperation of small farmers is based on a voluntary basis, and the cooperation motivation is mainly driven by interests. The cooperation is greatly influenced by emotional factors. The cooperation of small beef cattle farmers in Guangnan county reflects a microcosm of the development of Chinese rural society; therefore, the results of this study indicate that the cooperation between small farmers and relevant parties is effective, but its effect is above medium level, but below optimal level. These cooperation phenomena reflect a stage of the process of small-scale peasant economy from market economy to market economy in China (Guangnan county). This finding indicated that all five types of relationships have varying degrees of influence on cooperative subjects, with the relationship with large farmers having a significant positive impact on the government, cooperatives, and large farmers.
