Abstract:Digital economy development is a new driving force for county agricultural industry promotion. Based on the digital economy development brings to the county agricultural development quality improvement of mechanism analysis, select a large bay area of Guangdong in 2018 to 2020, 12 agricultural county city as sample, the larger of digital level of economic development and the improvement of county agriculture industry to make positive discussion, for the development of the digital economy in the county rural index decomposition, It is divided into rural digital infrastructure construction, rural economy digitization, rural governance digitization and rural life digitization. The rural digitization index of the above four dimensions and the development level of county agricultural industry are studied in detail. The research conclusions are as follows: First, the development of digital economy can effectively improve the development quality of county agriculture and bring positive effects to the production efficiency of county agriculture and the output value of the primary industry. This result still holds after the robustness test. Second, the digitalization of rural economy is the most important factor affecting the development of county agriculture, followed by rural digital infrastructure. The digitalization of rural governance and rural life have a weak impact on county agriculture. Digital infrastructure can play a fundamental role in the development of county agriculture. Digital production, circulation, sales and inclusive finance are the core driving force of county agricultural development. Third, the quality of agricultural development in "four-high" counties is much more promoted by the development of digital economy than that in "ordinary" counties. Moreover, there are big differences in the influence of digital economy on the two different types of counties, and the production efficiency of "four-high" counties is more promoted by digital economy. The output value of agricultural industry in "ordinary" counties was promoted more than production efficiency. According to the above, the paper puts forward some suggestions, such as developing digital economy, strengthening the in-depth integration of digital economy in agriculture, promoting the comprehensive construction of digital infrastructure, strengthening the construction of power engine with digitalization of rural economy as the core, and implementing differentiated support strategies for county development.
