Abstract: Using Compilation of National Cost Benefit Data of Agricultural Products in 1990-2009 and based on the convergence of planting industry marginal labor productivity, this paper studies the integration of agricultural labor market in China. Firstly, it calculates labor output elasticity of each province for wheat, japonica rice and corn. Secondly, it builds indicators reflecting change level of marginal labor productivity. Researches show that in 1990-2000, the difference level of marginal labor productivity expands. From 2000, it starts to fall and becomes more and more stable. However, due to difference of crops and farming custom, the turning point of marginal labor productivity is not consistent with each other. Even so, it is still possible to reach the conclusion that agricultural labor market is gradually integrated from 2000.
