Abstract Using the micro-survey data of farming households and also applying a non-linear regression model can examine the relationship among social capital, supply of public goods and the rural poverty reduction. The research shows that the social capital and the public goods supply can dramatically reduce the rural poverty, however, the effect of poverty reduction of the social capital of different farmers in different regions has a certain difference. Among them, the social network of the peasant household in the state-poor county has a strong resource-trapping effect, whereas social trust for farmers’ village in non-state-poor counties exerts a more systematic and perfect influence, and both contribute to the poverty reduction to some extent. Further studies have found that the social trust and farmers’ willingness to participate in the supply of public goods play a positive role in promoting poverty reduction in the rural areas. In order to better play the role of social capital in rural poverty reduction, improving the effective supply of public goods, in particular, enhancing rural social trust is one of its important means.
