Abstract: The phenomenon of farmers concurrent business is widespread in Wuling Mountain Area, which has a profound impact on land use activities such as cropland planting and abandonment. Based on the 551 household survey data in Youyang, Wulong and Yanhe counties in Wuling Mountain Area, Tobit analysis and Logistic analysis are used to discuss the effect of farmers' concurrent business degree on cropland abandonment, furtherly   households are divided into four types according to their livelihood types and non-agricultural income proportion, and then the characteristics and influencing factor of cropland abandonment of different types of concurrent business farmers are discussed. The result shows that: (1) The phenomenon of farmers' concurrent business is widespread in the study area, and the proportion of concurrent business farmers accounts for 75.14%. (2) Cropland abandonment in mountainous areas is serious. The proportion of households abandoning cropland is more than 40% for each type of rural households, and type I has the most farmland abandoned, followed by type II household. (3) Concurrent business will aggravate cropland especially dry land abandonment, the higher the degree of concurrent business, the greater the possibility of cropland abandonment. However, the effect of concurrent business on paddy field abandonment is not significant. (4) The increase of non-agricultural income brought by concurrent business has a significant positive impact on cropland abandonment, but the affected degrees of different types of concurrent farmers are different, and the increase of concurrent business degree will speed up the expansion of cropland abandonment. (5) Concurrent business also changed the impacts of other factors on cropland abandonment, resulting in a different effect of the influencing factors on cropland abandonment between different types of concurrent farmers. According to the research conclusion, differential policies have been proposed to guide farmers' farmland utilization.
