Research on the Competitiveness of Vegetable Industry in Nanning City
[Objective]In order to enhance the overall competitiveness of the vegetable in-dustry in Nanning City and improve its quality and efficiency,this paper studied the high-quality de-velopment of the vegetable industry in Nanning City,analyzed the existing problems,and proposed targeted strategies.[Method]This paper analyzed the current situation of vegetable industry in Nanning City,and used scale comparative advantage index,efficiency comparative advantage index,and comprehensive advantage index to compare the vegetable industry production advantages among Nanning and other major vegetable producing cities in Guangxi.[Result]The results indi-cated that there were certain differences in the scale comparative advantage index,efficiency com-parative advantage index,and comprehensive advantage index in Nanning City compared with the other major vegetable producing cities such as Liuzhou,Guilin,Yulin and Baise.The scale compara-tive advantage index was lower in Nanning than Liuzhou,Baise,Guilin,and Yulin,the efficiency comparative advantage index was higher in Nanning than Liuzhou and Guilin,but significantly lower than Yulin,and slightly lower than Baise,and the comprehensive advantage index was higher in Nanning than Liuzhou,but lower than Baise,Guilin,and Yulin.The production scale and special-ization level of the vegetable industry in Nanning has been increasing year by year since 2017,the level of per unit area yield of the vegetable industry in Nanning has been continuously increasing since 2015,and the overall advantage of vegetable industry in Nanning has been stable since 2017.At the same time,there are some problems for the development of vegetable industry in Nanning,such as unbalanced industrial structure,low level of facility development,and constraint in land use for vegetable industry.[Conclusion]The production scale and specialization degree of vegetable industry in Nanning are increasing year by year,the yield per unit area is constantly improving,and the overall advantage is maintained in a stable state.Based on the present situation and existing prob-lems,this article proposed strategies and suggestions including optimizing the structure of the veg-etable industry,culturing and introducing new types of vegetable production entities,coordinating the development of post-harvest services for vegetable,and developing vegetable processing accord-ing to local conditions,vigorously developing facility-cultivated vegetables,which could be the ref-erences for the high-quality development and industrial competitiveness improvement of the veg-etable industry in Nanning City.
