Theoretical Connotation,Constraints,and Optimization Paths of the Horse Industry Chain
The horse industry is an important component of the modern industrial system,and enhancing the development level of the horse industry chain is a key aspect of promoting high-quality development in this sector.In light of chain transmission theory,this paper defines the horse industry chain as a complete process chain formed around the production and trading activities of horse products or services.This chain encompasses the entire upstream,midstream,and downstream industries,from horse breeding and raising to the processing of horse products and equestrian tourism.Its connotation includes three aspects:the"chain leader,"the"chain,"and the"link."The market's innovation capability,the consumer demand for horse product services,and the integration level of the horse industry are the theoretical logic behind the formation of the horse industry chain.Currently,the development of the horse industry chain in China still faces constraints such as the limitations of"chain leaders,"unstable"chain"structures,and suboptimal"link"relationships.Accordingly,this paper proposes optimization paths like cultivating more leading horse enterprises with traction,accelerating the supplementation,reinforcement,extension of the horse industry chain,and empowering high-quality development of the horse industry chain with modern production factors.
