Abstract:
Based on data of Shandong Province from 2013 to 2019, agricultural competitiveness of 16 prefecture-level cities in Shandong Province was analyzed and studied, and suggestions were put forward for further improving overall agricultural competitiveness of Shandong Province.The index system of regional agricultural competitiveness in Shandong Province was established.Three objective weighting methods were used for single weighting and a combined weighting model was constructed.Agricultural competitiveness of prefecture-level cities in Shandong Province was comprehensively analyzed and evaluated, and ranked according to combined weight score.Total output value of fishery, total power of agricultural machinery per unit area, and local financial capacity were critical index factors affecting regional agricultural competitiveness in Shandong Province.Development of regional agricultural competitiveness in Shandong Province showed a "M" curve, rising first and then falling, and overall level showed a rising trend with great development potential.There was a great gradient difference in agricultural competitiveness among cities in Shandong Province.Areas with higher agricultural competitiveness were concentrated in coastal and peninsula areas, while areas with lower agricultural competitiveness were located in provincial marginal areas.It was suggested to further optimize structure of fishery industry, strengthen innovation of fishery technology, increase investment in agricultural science and technology and strengthen construction of local financial capacity.
