Research On The Competitiveness Of Agricultural Products Processing Industry In Henan Province

As a major province responsible for maintaining national food security,Henan Province has maintained its leading food production,labor resources and continuously improving industrial base,and has established a prominent comparative advantage for the development of agricultural products processing industry.In the background of Strategy of Rising Central China and Rural Revitalization,and the deepening of agricultural supply-side reform,the development of agricultural products processing industry in Henan Province has entered an opportunity period and a bottleneck period,and it is urgent to further enhance competitiveness.The Shift-share method is a kind of scientific analysis applied to regional industrial structure and competitiveness research.Using its dynamic expansion model and spatial expansion model for empirical analysis,it can lead to evaluation results which quantify the competitiveness of agricultural product processing industry in Henan Province from the perspective of time and space.In terms of time,the various industries of agricultural products processing industry in Henan Province have achieved positive real growth during the research period.The national economic growth has increased the driving effect of various industries,while the developmental advantages fostered by structural and competitive factors have different effects on the growth of different industries.But the agricultural product processing industry in Henan Province has structural and competitive advantages as a whole,which is a growth department with a development speed exceeding the national average.About the agricultural products processing industry in Henan Province,the production competitiveness under the perspective of time shows the characteristics of large differences in industry and simultaneous changes in structure.The structural competitiveness shows the characteristics of the overall level of decline and the contribution of the growth is weakened.The market competitiveness shows the characteristics of the overall level of decline but lack of stability,plus the contribution of the growth is increasing.From a spatial perspective,the characteristics of the actual growth of the agricultural products processing industry in Henan Province are obviously characterized.The economic growth of neighboring provinces has a positive impact on the spatial structure advantages of various industries,but the effect is limited.The spatial competitiveness advantages of various industries ofagricultural products processing industry in Henan Province have improved significantly,but the downward pressure is great.As far as the average level is concerned,most industries in the agricultural product processing industry in Henan Province are growth sectors with advantages.But some of them have good industrial foundation but lack of competitive strength,which means measures should be taken to mend the deficiency.About the agricultural products processing industry in Henan Province,the production competitiveness under the spatial perspective presents the characteristics of large scale but low production efficiency.The spatial structure competitiveness shows a slight increase in overall level and also plays an important role in the growth.The spatial market competitiveness shows an overall increase but lack of stability.And the contribute of the growth tends to increase.Further analysis of the reasons for the formation of competitive disadvantages of agricultural products processing industry in Henan Province can be described as follows.First,industrial policy has limitations and social service system lags.Secondly,mechanism and structural contradictions are prominent.Thirdly,enterprise innovation capacity is insufficient.Correspondingly,the countermeasures to promote the competitiveness of agricultural products processing industry in Henan Province are not only to improve industrial support policies and social service systems,but also to change mechanisms,adjust industrial structure,and enhance enterprise innovation capabilities.The theoretical analysis and model analysis of the system can provide the necessary logical support for objectively evaluating and judging the competitiveness of various industries of agricultural products processing industry in Henan Province.The reasons analysis and suggestions will also be applicable to the actual agricultural product processing industry in Henan Province,which has a positive meaning for its development.
