“…In 2010-2011, they were responsible for 89-90% (133 and 152 violations, respectively) of all legal violations of this category of land uses on agricultural land, including in the Far Eastern Federal District-40% of violations); in 2012, 96.2 (345 cases) and 18%, respectively. In Russia in 2013, 373 land use violations by foreigners on an area of 5500 ha was revealed (36% of the total agricultural land parcels being rented to foreigners) 5 .…”

“…In turn, migration outflow of the population results from a decline in the social infrastructure of the countryside: there is a reduction in educational institutions, a decline in the level of health care, and a lack of cultural and recreational centers (clubs, libraries). As a result of consolidating rural libraries, clubs, and museums into one structure, there has been a decline not only in their staffs, but also in financing and the quality of services provided [5].…”

The study analyzes the role of the Chinese factor in developing the agriculture of the southern regions of the Russian Far East. The role of Chinese labor migrants, business activity with Chinese capital, the state of agriculture, and socioeconomic development of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast are considered in the most detail. Insufficient official statistics and reported data determine the study's wide use of materials from federal agencies, regional executive authorities, various Internet sites, and interviews and information collected by the author during field research. It is shown that the involvement of Chinese labor migrants in agriculture facilitates the development and use of land; however, it has an insignificant effect on the regional economy, intensifies administrative problems of local agricultural producers, sharpens environmental prob lems, and indirectly decreases the quality of life of the population in the countryside. The basis for stabilizing the agricultural situation is the clear position of the authorities in achieving long term branch indices taking into account the support of local agricultural producers and regular monitoring of foreign business activity.

Chinese farmers are actively engaged in the economy of the Russian Far East. We used an econometric model to analyze panel data on the socioeconomic impact on local residents of Chinese farmers and workers in the Russian Far East (RFE). Proximity to Chinese farms and sales to Chinese retailers increases the well-being, the farm income, and the food costs of Russian rural households. The same factors raise land prices through increased competition, reduce the wages of Russian workers and the number of family members working on Russian farms, increase the number of full-time jobs for farm workers, lower yields of corn and wheat, and raise yields of potatoes and rice. Thus, the effects of the Chinese presence on rural Russian households varies with the makeup of the household, the amount of land it owns and leases, and the number of household members who work on other farms. Cooperation with Chinese farmers and retailers plays an important role in determining the ability of the rural areas of the RFE to develop sustainably.

China's international position as a net creditor nation provides it with foreign exchange that it has invested in Asian and African countries. One example is China's investment in the Russian Far East (RFE). Thousands of Chinese agricultural workers have migrated to the RFE in recent decades. They are often welcomed by Russian farmers who face a labor shortage and by local residents who can buy cheap vegetables from them, but there are others who resent their presence in the region as competitors. Our study is the first empirical study of this relationship. Our results demonstrate economic benefits to the Russian households. There are, however, some negative repercussions of Chinese farmers in the RFE, and the governments of both China and Russia need to manage the situation wisely.
