Research On Construction And Optimization Industrial System Of Xinjiang Production & Construction Group

The agriculture of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps is in the lead nationwide with regard to its intensification level, scale and modern agricultural technique popularizing. However, weakness in the second and third industry hinders the sustained development of XPCC severely. It is mentioned in the document [2007]32 issued by the State Council that the nation will take advantage of the intensive agriculture of XPCC, support it in advancing new industrialization, consolidate and promote agriculture, speed up the development of the second and third industries so that a new competitive leading industrial pattern will be formed. In July,2009, a significant policy decision has been put up by the Party Committee of XPCC to accelerate its great economic adjustment and change.Based on the policies and strategies of the Central Government and the Party Committee of XPCC, by adopting the theory of comparative advantage and the theory of industry option, the paper analyzes the resource endowment and current situation of the three industrial developments. Industrial advantages and competence of each reclamation area of XPCC are studied through analyzing comparative advantage, major elements, factors, and other research methods. Pillar industry and leading industry should be chosen from the three levels——agricultural divisions,the reclamation areas in both southern and northern Xinjiang, and the Corps as a whole. So should building a new industry system.The research indicates that cotton industry, pig husbandry, mining, processing food from agricultural products, textile industry and wholesale and retail trade can be the pillar industries of XPCC, while grape and red date industry, cattle-raising industry, nonmetal mineral producing, tourism, importing and exporting trade can be its leading industries. Regarding the industrial development of the Corps as a whole, the three industrial competence is the greatest in the reclamation areas in the northern Taishan mountain, and industrial system in these areas has begun to take shape. Mining and processing food from agricultural products are more developed in the first and second agricultural division in southern Xinjiang, and have the potential to be the leading industries there, however, their third industry is still weak. But the reclamation areas mentioned above can make good use of their better producing basis and tourism, develop nonmetal mineral producing, hotels and catering services into their leading industries. For the fourth and fifth agriculture divisions on the border, textile industry and food production, which are more competitive, are better leading industries than their backward second and third industries. Meanwhile, with border ports and rich mineral resources, mining, nonmetal and mineral production, importing and exporting trades have great potential to evolve into leading industries in these areas.The research suggests that XPCC should make use of its comparative agricultural and resource advantages, deciding its agricultural pillar industries so that distinctive agricultural industry will be pushed forward, a diversified agricultural system will be established, and undeveloped industries will be improved. Industrialized development should be drove by cultivating leading industry and accelerating marketization, greatly improving infrastructure construction. A succession of high-tech distinctive industrial chains and clusters under modern management are ought to be formed, which are bound to be insured by policy and technique innovation. A green leading industry should be the power for developing a new type of economy. Finally, it is also necessary to speed up the process of urbanization, and expend the third industrial fields.
