Study On Formation Process And Development Strategy For Agricultural Regional Cluster In China

Thanks to the open-up policy and fast economic growth in the past 20 years, China's agricultural sector has entereda new development stage, in which the supply and demand pattern of farm produce witnessed a historic change, shifting from long term shortage to a basic balance with some surplus in good harvest years. However, this change is also followed by a variety of problems, including the low overall quality of farm produce, irrational product mix, the duplicated regional structure, the incomplete links in the industry and waster of resources. As a result, the economic efficiency of the agricultural sector is low with weak competitiveness and sluggish growth in rural income. To address these problems, we should gradually break away from the traditional development pattern to a new one, which bases the projection of agricultural development on industrialization. It is required to, in line with the demand of modern agricultural and industrial development, promote the development of regional clustering of the agricultural industry in compliance with the evolution of agricultural regionalization on the basis of market mechanism. It is a must choice to enhance the efficiency and competitiveness of agricultural sector and an effective means to improve rural income and the regional economic development, which should be an inherent composition of the concepts of industrialization and urbanization.Based on a careful study of the examination and practice of the academic circle home and abroad in the field of economic development stage, regional economic development and industrial development, this text has given a theoretical examination of the possibilities to promote the evolution of agricultural regionalization and development of regional clustering and laid a theoretical foundation for the further study in this field. On this basis, it has put forward the concept and the basic implication of agricultural regional cluster as well as the significance of the study, which has enriched its meaning and demand for development.The industrial cluster is originated from the practice in industrial development. The author has made a comprehensive study of the main evolution of the industrial clustering home and abroad as well as the effects and measures adopted, thus gaining valuable inspiration. This text, based on the analysis of comparative advantages and cost differential, has made a summary on the development of agricultural industrial clustering of foreign countries with the focus on analyzing the evolution trend of the agricultural regionalization in China. To conclude, it is a fundamental demand of the modern agricultural development to promote the industrial cluster development in agricultural sector in line with the law of market economy. Meanwhile, it is also an effective means to build up the agricultural industry. The practice in countries with well-developed agricultural sector indicates that it is viable to promote the development of agricultural regional cluster in China, a big country in agriculture, which has been equipped with appropriate conditions.The text has proposed a relatively complete theoretical system for the development of...
