ABSTRACT
Agricultural industry agglomeration is an important driving force for the green and high-quality
development of agriculture. Based on the perspective of agricultural industry agglomeration, this
paper discusses the impact of agricultural industry agglomeration on the level of green development
of agriculture, which is of great significance for the realization of sustainable development of
agriculture and the implementation of the “double carbon” goal. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces
(municipalities) and autonomous regions in China from 2011 to 2020, the non-expected Super-SBM
model and location entropy index method were used to measure the efficiency of agricultural green
development and the level of agricultural industry agglomeration. The spatial Dubin model, tradition and
spatial Markov chain were used to demonstrate the influence of agricultural industrial agglomeration
on agricultural green development efficiency and its spatio-temporal dynamic evolution.The results
showed that: (1) There was spatial autocorrelation in agricultural green development efficiency. Areas
with higher agricultural green development efficiency will drive the improvement of agricultural
green development efficiency in surrounding areas, with a positive spillover effect. (2) Industrial
agglomeration can improve the efficiency of agricultural green development, and this enhancement
has spatial spillover. (3) The influence of agricultural industrial agglomeration on agricultural green
development efficiency and its spatial spillover have regional heterogeneity. The spillover effect of AIA
to AGDE in the eastern region is greater than that in the central and western regions. Based on this,
it is necessary to grasp the spatial correlation law of provincial agriculture, promote the sustainable
development of regional agriculture, optimize the allocation of resources, and put forward policy implications for the improvement of agricultural green efficiency from the aspects of financial support,
industrialization, human capital and urbanization.
