Abstract It is an important task to actively and steadily promote the voluntary withdrawal of rural land contract right with compensation to deepen the reform of the “separation of three rights” of rural land in China. According to thepush-pull theory model, farmers' land withdrawal behavior will not only be affected by the characteristics of farmers themselves, but also be affected by the differences in regional economic development. Based on the field survey data of Anhui and Jiangxi provinces in China, this paper uses Probit model to analyze the differences of influencing factors of farmers' willingness to withdraw from land. Through the study of the samples of the two provinces, it is found that age, farmland area, the level of education, the total family income, the proportion of non-agricultural income, family members of urban household registration and the distance from the nearest town have a significant impact on the withdrawal of land contract rights. From the perspective of sub-samples at the provincial level, characteristic variables such as age, the proportion of non-agricultural income and family members of urban household registration have the same influence on farmers' willingness to withdraw from land contract rights in Anhui and Jiangxi provinces. The sub-sample regression at the county level in Anhui shows that except for the difference in the influence of age variables, the influence of other variables is consistent with the regression results of Anhui total samples. Based on the above conclusions, this paper puts forward some policy suggestions, such as adhering to the principle of voluntary withdrawal, strengthening the motivation of farmers' land withdrawal, taking into account regional development differences, coordinating urban and rural areas and so on.
