Abstract

Abstract

Seed industry innovation drives agricultural resource reallocation and value chain reconstruction through biotechnology breakthroughs and system integration, and becomes the core engine for breaking through the boundaries of rural industries and realizing multi-dimensional integration. This paper constructed a multidimensional evaluation index system of seed industry innovation level and rural industry integration level, and conducted empirical tests based on the provincial panel data of China from 2012 to 2022. The study finds that seed industry innovation can significantly promote rural industrial integration, and achieve differentiated driving through the vertical technological penetration of breeding patents, the vertical synergistic innovation in variety markets and the scale-driven industrial chain integration. The mechanism test suggests that seed industry innovation promotes rural industrial integration through the dual mechanism of technological innovation penetration and entrepreneurial resource integration. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the driving efficiency of seed industry innovation is subject to the interaction of geographic location, factor agglomeration and digital infrastructure, and shows significant spatial differentiation in the main grain producing areas, agricultural big data test areas and large-scale operation areas. The threshold effect test confirms that the promotion effect of seed industry innovation on rural industrial integration is featured with nonlinear enhancement after the level of farmers' scientific and technological quality exceeds a single threshold value. The study aims to analyze the complex mechanism of seed industry innovation driving rural industrial integration, and provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the optimization of seed industry innovation resource allocation and the precise formulation of regional industrial policies.
