Development of Shao Guan Agricultural Socialized Service System under Dual Circulation Strategy

Abstract

The agricultural industry's competitiveness has become increasingly vital as global uncertainty grows. China proposed the dual circulation plan to achieve competitiveness resiliency in May 2020, which intends to enhance supply-side structural reforms. Empirical studies are rare in the early stages of national policy implementation, and most articles are conceptual. To close the empirical gap, this research performs a survey of important stakeholders, consisting of Shao Guan's agricultural college, agricultural associations, businesses, and e-commerce associations. For empirical validation, it uses structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings show that environmental, structure and system, productivity, core competency, the promotion effect of agriculture, and dual circulation consequences play significant roles in explaining agriculture socialization service performance as measured by its development level, thereby assisting agricultural development and satisfaction.
