农机作业服务是中国在机械化进程中探索出来的特殊产业模式。该模式从根本上克服了“农户小规模经营与大马力机械需求”之间的矛盾,从而推动了中国农业机械化的快速发展。基于此,从社会分工角度而言,农机作业服务产业的出现是有其内在的经济原因的。研究表明:第一,在人工成本上升与购机补贴政策的共同推动下,劳动力与机械相对成本越来越高,由此也诱发农民强烈的农机使用需求;第二,受限于小规模经营的资源条件和农业收入水平低下的经济状况,小农一家一户无法负担农机的购置成本;第三,社会分工产生农机作业服务产业,有利于将高昂的农机购置成本在多个农户间进行分担,是解决农机高需求和农户低购买力矛盾的有效途径。
Agricultural machinery operation service is a special industry pattern which has been explored in the process of agricultural mechanization in China. This pattern can fundamentally over-come the contradiction between "the small-scale farmer households and the demand of high power machinery" , so as to promote the rapid development of China's agricultural mechanization. Based on this, from the point of social division of labor, it can be seen that the emergence of agricultural ma- chinery operation service industry has its internal economic reasons. The results of this study show that, firstly, under the joint drive of the rising labor costs and the subsidy policy, the relative cost of labor and machinery is becoming higher and higher, which also induce farmers' strong demand to use agricultural machinery; secondly, being limited by small scale farming resource conditions and lower fanning income financial conditions, the farmers of single household cannot bear the burden of the purchase costs of agricultural machinery; thirdly, the social division of labor has brought into exis- tence of agricultural machinery operation service industry, which is helpful for farmers to share the high costs of agricultural machinery, so that it is an effective way to solve the contradictions between high demand of agricultural machinery and low purchasing power of the farmers.
