Large-scale agricultural production is the basic trend of agricultural development,and the expansion of operation scale depends on the transfer of farmland.The allocation of agricultural resources based on farmland leads to rural households’ differentiated demands on stability and completeness of farmland lease contract.Thus,this paper uses household-level survey data to explain the scale of farmland leased in by rural households and the characteristics of contract matching.The results show that the difference in the scale of farmland transfer will lead to the difference in other dimensions of the contract.To be concrete,the larger the scale of farmland leasing-in is,the more rural households tend to sign formal written contracts,the higher the rent they can afford to lease in farmland,the higher the possibility of leasing in farmland from non-relatives and non-neighbors is,and the longer the lease period is.This paper suggests that the government should give full play to the comparative advantages of rural collective organizations in farmland transfer based on the integration and concentration of farmland,in order to create favorable conditions for the new type of agricultural operators to enter agriculture,thus promoting the effective utilization of land resources and the improvement of agricultural productivity.
