Abstract:

The study aims to assess the level of agricultural modernization of Beidahuang Group Co., Ltd., a typical leading agricultural enterprise, in order to clarify its development status and provide a reference for the modernization development of other key agricultural enterprises. The index system of agricultural modernization level was constructed from five dimensions by using the multi-index comprehensive evaluation method, and the Delphi method was used to measure the weights and calculate the final score. The findings revealed that the comprehensive evaluation score of Beidahuang Group’s agricultural modernization increased from 0.296 in 2008 to 0.704 in 2022. Despite differences in development foundations, modes, and speeds among its subsidiaries, the overall level of agricultural modernization consistently improved during this period, and the overall pace was basically the same. The overall level of agricultural modernization of Beidahuang Group was in the basic realization stage, especially in the aspects of mechanization, informatization, scientific and technological advancement, talent cultivation, and sustainable development, which played a leading role in demonstration for other leading agricultural enterprises. The paper concluded with suggestions for further development, including maintaining high-quality agricultural product supply, increasing investment in technology and its applications, enhancing talent cultivation, promoting industry integration, and advancing sustainable agricultural practices.
