Abstract: The income increment policy in the 1980s was different from that in the 1970s, which was a sort of support price policy. It aimed to increase the income of agrarian households by producing new highly value added products or earning non-farming income. But it didn't aim the renovation of agricultural structure. Although the free trade system was introducing in the 1980s, the agrarian policy did not change its orientation from that in the 1970s. The target of the agrarian policy in the 1980s was the rural development under the low price system for agricultural products, but it was a impossible dream. The agrarian policies without renovation overcoming small farming led to the failure of the complex farming. Agrarian households fell into a heap of debts. The complex project to develop agrarian and fishing villages since 1989 oriented restructuring the agrarian structure.
