## 1 Introduction

Information technology has greatly changed the mode of agricultural development and reform, in particular, had a huge impact on the interaction between the markets for agricultural products and agricultural production.

The core to build a new socialist ecology is to develop the agricultural economy and increase rural incomes. It is undoubtedly an effective way to reform the traditional management of agriculture for building new ecology. Electronic agriculture affairs, as an advanced commercial pattern, has great advantages in improving the industrialization degree of agriculture, adjusting agriculture structure,
reducing the transaction cost, and expanding the market of the sale of agricultural
products.

As the country's largest special economic zone and international tourism island, Hainan is an agricultural province; agricultural information degree of market determines the level of results and to play the role of bridgehead of the new socialist ecology construction in Hainan. Although the province's agricultural information market in recent years has made great progress, especially one-year term of Hainan Winter Fair, rural economic development of Hainan and the surrounding provinces and cities of the more advanced market demand, technology and industrial development agricultural information. Hainan agricultural market development status, the market is not mature, the trading behavior is not standardized, even the existence of low-quality information, false information events.

The Hainan is a major agricultural province; therefore, to the establishment of a
sound, comprehensive agricultural information system to promote rural economic
development of Hainan is the urgent task of the agricultural province.

## 2 New socialist ecology farm applications countermeasures

To become boosters of the socialist new socialist ecology construction, the implementation of e-agriculture is very complex system engineering. E-agriculture in the new socialist ecology construction applications may encounter a variety of problems, for the problems that may arise, as well as the construction of a new socialist ecology in the case of successful application of e-agriculture, domestic socialist ecology building applications for electronic farm to make some suggestions.

This information construction in rural areas is very important, and helps to reduce the blind investment and resource conservation, and can find the information on the real needs of rural residents.

**2.6 Market-oriented operation mechanism for e-agriculture construction refueling.**

E-agriculture has a strong public interest, and to highlight the social benefits is a long-term task, you must combine government promotion, guidance and market mechanisms. In addition to government departments, various social or business organizations can become direct information service principal, the Government can play an organization to promote and oversee the manager's role, and insisted that the government-led emphasis on the basic role of the market, accelerating the development of the information technology market players, play to their enthusiasm; the role of government to gradually Go to actively create a favorable policy environment for up to encourage and support all kinds of social forces to carry out the socialization of information services for the majority of farmers, to promote e-agriculture.
As long as the governmental organizations, to co-ordinate the planning, funds,
technical support. Development of low-cost, high-tech, systems-oriented integrated
innovation; e-agriculture will be able to achieve brilliant results. Which is
conducive to narrow the urban-rural digital divide, break the urban-rural dual
structure; conducive to the promotion of farmers to change their ideas and improve
quality; conducive to modern technology and the combination of agriculture,
strengthen the comprehensive agricultural production capacity-building, the
construction of these e-agriculture, promote rural economic and social development
played an important role of government is a way of building a new socialist
ecology.
