Abstract:

The new agricultural business entity is an important carrier to promote the development of agricultural modernization. This paper takes 1 426 new agricultural business entities in Zhejiang Province as the research object, and uses the nearest neighbor index, kernel density estimation method and spatial autocorrelation method to analyze the spatial distribution pattern of leading agricultural enterprises, farmers' cooperatives and family farms in Zhejiang Province. The results showed that: The point data of the three types of demonstrative new agricultural business entities are clustered in spatial distribution; The spatial distribution of the three types of demonstrative new agricultural business entities is clustered.There are obvious differences in the distribution density of the three types of demonstrative new agricultural business entities. Leading agricultural enterprises are mostly gathered in the plain area of northern Zhejiang, farmers' cooperatives are mostly gathered and close to the coastal areas of eastern Zhejiang, and family farms form multiple high-density value areas in the plain area of northern and the hilly areas of central and western Zhejiang. There is a positive autocorrelation in the spatial distribution of the three types of new agricultural business entities. The spatial distribution includes three types: H-H (high-high aggregation), L-H (low-high anomaly), and H-L (high-low anomaly). The development of new agricultural business entities in Zhejiang Province is affected by multiple factors such as policy, economic society, natural geography, and location transportation. The improvement of the new agricultural business entity system should be promoted according to local conditions based on the optimization of agricultural production space and the actual development of each region.

Key words: new agricultural business entities, spatial distribution characteristics, development influencing factors, Zhejiang Province
