Abstract

This paper analyzed forest farmers’ priority demands for forest reform policies through average linkage clustering analysis and multinomial logistic regression model by applying survey data of 500 households in Jiangxi province. The results indicated that the subsidy policies is the most needed policies followed by the forestry science and technology service policy, and financial services. In addition multinomial logistic regression model analysis was used to study what factors influence farmers’priority demand for forest reform policies. The empirical results show that the age of head of household, the area of household forest land, whether forest farmers have participated in forest right mortgage loans and forest insurance significantly affect the demand of forest farmers for forest reform policy. Finally, some pertinent suggestions were put forward to promote the collective forest reform.
