Abstract: Abstract The rural land reform policy (RLRP) in the 1980s introduced the farm household responsibility system (HRS; jiating chengbao zerenzhi and so the traditional collective land holding and use system was transformed to the individual land holding and use system. Since then the Chinese agricultural sector has been drastically restructured (Hinton, 1990; Guo et ah, 2007). In the past decades, sericulture and the silk industry, a typical traditional agricultural sector in China, has also been transformed and has headed towards a new stage of development, in which the contract farming system between silkworm farmers and silk companies plays an important role (Ni, 2007).
