摘要

Land consolidation in the agricultural sector aims to combine plots of land to create larger ones with shapes and sizes that are more favorable for production. It also contributes to reducing production costs and meeting the demands of the agricultural market. Its implementation is simultaneously affected by many socio-economic factors. However, the extent to which they impact agricultural land consolidation is unclear. The study aims to address this scientific gap and propose strategic solutions to accelerate agricultural land consolidation. The study directly and randomly surveyed 235 households that had implemented agricultural land consolidation to identify the hypothesized factors affecting it. The hypothesized regression model of the influencing factors was evaluated using specific criteria. The findings indicate 8 factor groups affecting agricultural land consolidation. The groups’ impact ratios are from 3.55 to 30.99%. The financial factors have the most substantial impact. The natural factor group has the least negligible impact. The study also analyzes the effect of each factor group on agricultural land consolidation. The study contributes to perfecting the theoretical foundation related to agricultural land use. This study proposes policy implications focused on fiscal policy, support mechanisms, and the management of land and agricultural product markets. The aim is to enhance the efficiency of agricultural land use and improve farmers’ income and living standards. They can also be considered for application in other areas of the world.

Graphical Abstract

The graphical abstract of the paper depicts the title, background, research gap, and objectives. It then outlines the research process and methodology, as well as the hypothesized model of the factor groups that affect agricultural land consolidation. Following this, the findings are illustrated with a chart displaying the impact ratios of the eight factor groups. Lastly, the abstract summarizes policy recommendations.
