“…Moreover, which species are planted depends on the opportunity cost of land (Hartwick, 1989;Renkow, 1993;Raiklin, 1998), and in turn, land rent may affect the choice of planted species. When the land leaser no longer has a strong social security function, then it is not essential for the landlord to lease the farmland either for grain production or non-grain production.…”

IntroductionCrop diversification from grain to non-grain production is often considered a threat to food security in many populous countries with limited arable land. Yet its potential spillover effect has not been fully studied. This study explores a unique plot-level dataset to particularly quantify the spillover effect of non-grain production on the land rental price of grain production from the perspective of factor opportunity cost and proposes corresponding land management strategies.MethodsData used in this study came from a field survey conducted in Jiangsu province. OLS method was employed to test the effect of non-grain production on the rent price of grain production farmland, combined with plot-level heterogeneity analysis. In addition, Quantile method was used for robustness check.ResultsOur main finding indicates that converting land use from grain production to non-grain production significantly increases the land rental rate of surrounding plots for grain production by 222.02 yuan/mu, accounting for 28.75% of the total land rent (772.25 yuan/mu). This spillover effect exhibits a stronger trend as the contracted land scale expands. However, the kin relationship among contract parties can weaken this effect, indicating that social ties can work as a mediator in offsetting the negative shock of the rental rate increase due to non-grain production. In order to keep the land rent under control, rural land use is actively harnessed by local governments at a guided price.DiscussionBased on the empirical results, the study recommends comprehensive land use planning and a regionally regulated land transfer market in order to achieve a balance between food security and a diversified agricultural structure.

Affected by low profitability of food crops, non-grain production has put a threat on Chinese food security. Though widely discussed, its impact on land rent has not been fully studied. This study explores the spillover effect of non-grain production from the perspective of factor opportunity cost. Data are extracted from 273 plots in Jiangsu province, China. Outcomes show that non-grain production significantly increases the land rent of surrounding plots by 222.02yuan/mu. This spillover effect exhibits a stronger trend as contracted land scale expands. However, the kin relationship among contract parties can weaken this effect, which points out that social ties can work as a mediator in resisting the external shock of non-grain production. Similarly, guided price set by governments is an indicator when land rent reaches an unreasonable level and hinders grain production. Far from being a spontaneous process of pure market forces, rural land use is actively harnessed by government at all levels. Hence, the study recommends a comprehensive land use plan and regional regulated land transfer market in order to achieve a balance between food security and diversified agricultural structure. Restrictions should not be imposed on the informal land transfer among acquaintances.
