Abstract: ObjectiveThe competitiveness and position of rape seed industry of Sichuan were specially identified and its advantages and constraints were discussed to promote the development of rape seed industry of Sichuan.MethodBased on a model of industrial competitiveness formation , an index system for rape seed competitiveness eval-uation was constructed. The index system was utilized to reflect competitiveness and position of rape seed industry from resource endowment, development ability and industrial environment. Rape seed competitiveness of main provinces, cities and autonomous regions in China were evaluated and analyzed by using factor analysis and cluster analysis , and then the competitiveness and position of rape seed industry of Sichuan in China were made clear. ResultThe competi-tiveness of rape seed industry of Sichuan was on the level of the second team which had a gap with Hubei Province. However, the competitiveness of rape seed industry of Sichuan was still in a better place in China. The main competi-tive advantages were its development ability and resource endowment , but the effects of development ability and indus-trial environment still needed to be strengthened. There were still more potential to improve the competitiveness of rape seed industry of Sichuan in future. SuggestionTo enhance the competitiveness of rape seed industry of Sichuan, atten-tion should be paid to accelerating the construction of modern breeding bases , innovating the extension model of im-proved varieties, providing support for modern seed groups and creating a good industrial environment.
