ANALYSIS ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND COMPETITIVENESS EVALUATION OF THE COARSE GRAIN INDUSTRY CLUSTER IN SHANXI PROVINCE
To analyze and evaluate the current development status and competitiveness of Shanxi province's miscellaneous grain industry cluster,in order to provide references for the differentiation and sustainable development of Shanxi province's miscellaneous grain industry.Based on the theory of agricultural industry agglomeration development,the development of Shanxi province's miscellaneous grain industry cluster was analyzed from various aspects such as the overview of industrial production scale,types and regional distribution,cluster development mode,enterprise and brand construction,and the competitiveness of miscellaneous grains was comprehensively evaluated through indicators such as location quotient,concentration coefficient,and advantage index.The results were listed as follows.The development trend of Shanxi province's coarse grain production cluster was obvious,with a relatively concentrated regional distribution of coarse grain types.The development mode was still mainly small household operation,lacking leading enterprises in coarse grain production,lagging regional brand development,and insufficient construction of enterprise and product brands.(2)From 2015 to 2021,Shanxi Province had obvious advantages in the cultivation of miscellaneous grains,with a slightly higher level of specialization than the national average.However,in the past two years,the advantages began to show a weakening trend,manifested as a reduction in scale and limited improvement in efficiency.(3)Among them,Shanxi millet production had a significant competitive advantage nationwide;The advantage of soybean planting was decreasing;The scale and production efficiency of sorghum had improved rapidly,and the development momentum was strong;The production scale of potatoes had not changed much,and the production efficiency had significantly improved.Therefore,the overall development foundation of the miscellaneous grain industry cluster in Shanxi province is good,and there is a trend of weakening.The construction of enterprises and brands is seriously lagging behind,so it is necessary to carry out scientific regional layout of the miscellaneous grain industry in the province according to local conditions,optimize industrial structure,improve production technology level,focus on cultivating leading enterprises in miscellaneous grain production and processing,improve the miscellaneous grain production and operation system,and strengthen the construction of regional brands,enterprise brands,and product brands.
