ABSTRACT: The imbalance between urban and rural development and the imbalance
between the eastern and western regions in Sichuan Province is a prominent
issue, and the rural revitalization strategy is a strategic opportunity to
achieve high-quality development in the province. The foundation of rural
revitalization strategy lies in industrial prosperity, which mainly depends on
the development of rural leading industries. To study the relationship between
the development of rural revitalization leading industries and economic
factors, innovation factors, and regional space, the paper selected the added
value of the primary industry in various cities (autonomous prefectures) in
Sichuan Province from 2012 to 2021 as the dependent variable. The selected
explanatory variables include consumption indicators, investment indicators,
production factor indicators, and innovation factor indicators. Considering the
adjacency relationship between cities (autonomous prefectures), the Queen
criterion is used to set the first-order adjacency spatial weight matrix for
each city (autonomous prefectures) in Sichuan Province. The spatial econometric
analysis software GeoDa is used for global and local correlation analysis. By
analyzing the spatial relationship between the added value of the primary
industry and relevant economic factors in Sichuan Province since the 18th
National Congress of the Communist Party of China, this study investigates the
innovative development of rural revitalization leading industries. By applying
innovation theory, it is pointed out that the innovative development of the
leading industries in rural revitalization in Sichuan Province must establish a
collaborative system of industrial structure innovation, industrial
organization innovation, industrial technology innovation, and industrial
policy innovation. Rural leading industries must be integrated through
industrial space.
