The so-called "futures agriculture" refers to agricultural product ordering contracts and agreements, also known as contract agriculture or contract agriculture. It is market-oriented, contractual, predictive and risky. The quantity, quality and minimum protection price of agricultural products specified in the order make both parties enjoy corresponding rights, obligations and binding force, and cannot unilaterally break the contract. Because the order is signed before the planting of agricultural products, it is a kind of futures trade, so it is also called "futures agriculture" (agricultural order+futures trade).
