On the Enlightenment of Share Tenancy Theory to the Problems of the Rural Lands in Our Country

Steven Cheung's theory of share tenancy can be revealed from its discussion on the efficiency of merotomized leasehold agreement. Cottier Theory systematically expounds the agreement form and arrives at such effective conclusion of farm tenancy. At present, there are many problems in the using of rural lands such as the irrational transfer of land-using right, the lower increase of productivities with the rise of input cost, and discontinuous farming of lands, etc. From the theoretical preconditions and explanations of New Cottier Theory, we can get some enlightenments: defining the property right of farmer's land as soon as possible, constituting land agreements according to local conditions, and improving the statutory building for land.
