The Rural Social Capital:

A Sociological Interpretation of Origin and Efficiency of Agribusiness

Abstract:
The article focus on the origin and efficiency, and subsistent state, and growth path of agribusiness in rural backgrounds based on social capital perspective. The results indicate that high qualified rural social capital plays critical role in the emergence and development of native agribusiness by enabling organizations to conquer the obstacle of double limitations of capital and institutions in original stage. Agribusiness achieves necessary organization efficiency through substituting the factor of hierarchy for the rural social capital integrant including trust, regulation, and network. The research seeks to enhance the explanation for the existence and growth of non-typical Hierarchical Organizations and provide new insights into the status and the development of the agribusiness.
