Abstract:To promote the high-quality development of Shanxi Province’s characteristic agricultural industry,based on the 2013-2022 official coarse cereals production data of Shanxi Province, this study used the entropy weight TOPSIS method and obstacle degree model to evaluate and analyze the development level of the province’s coarse cereals industry. The results showed that although Shanxi Province’s coarse cereals industry has a relatively sound overall development foundation, it is currently showing a weakening trend. The development of the coarse cereals industry is restricted by factors such as low output, low product added value, unstable land output rate, scattered brands, and low popularity. Therefore, targeted suggestions are put forward from aspects such as optimizing the industrial layout, improving product added value, strengthening scientific and technological support and enhancing its leading role, and accelerating brand cultivation, so as to promote the sustainable and healthy development of Shanxi Province’s coarse cereals industry.
