农村工业近20年来在我国得到迅速发展,成为推动国民经济发展的重要力量。研究农村工业的地区竞争力对于进一步推进我国农村工业的健康发展,形成各具特色的地区农村工业竞争格局有着重要意义。在总结现有研究成果的基础上,通过对目前影响我国农村工业竞争力的主要因素的把握,构筑了我国各地区农村工业竞争力分析评价的指标体系,在此基础上,运用因子分析的方法计算出我国各省区农村工业竞争力指数,简要分析了我国农村工业竞争力地区差异的状况,并进一步运用聚类分析的方法探讨了农村工业竞争力差异的基本类型及其提高竞争力的战略举措。

In the past 20 years, Chinese rural industry has got great achievements and comes to be a vital factor of national economy. It's very important to study regional rural industrial competitive power to promote rural industrial sustainable development. It's also useful to set up various characteristic frameworks of regional rural industrial competitive power. This paper tries to bring forward a general index system to competitive power assessment. It's based on the outputs of former studies and my own research on main factors of rural industrial competitive power. Index to competitive power is achieved by factor analysis. Regional difference and types of rural industrial competitive power in China is explored. Besides these, this paper is trying to find out measures to improve competitive power. Some conclusions are drawn as followed: 1) The regional difference of rural industrial competitive power is consistent with rural industrial gross output. By the analyse of rural industrial competitive power of 30 provinces, it can be found out that the competitive power of rural industry in most of east provinces is stronger; And the power of competitive in west provinces is lower. Only Henan and Hunan these two provinces have a little stronger competitive power in central China. 2) The rural industrial enterprises in the east region have made greater progress with benefit of output, upgrading of industrial structure and market-based process through structural adjustment in recent years. Though the growth rate of rural industry in the west region is very fast in recent years, quality of development is far behind the east region. The gap between east and west in the development of rural industry will be greater and greater. And this gap will be shown in quality of development more and more. The central and west regions need to spend a long time to improve their rural industrial competitive power. And they must make good use of natural and workforce resources under the support of policy bias and industrial groups with better foundation to improve their competitive power.
