Abstract:In September 2012, Suzhou took the lead in adopting the mode of agricultural industrialization conglomerates in the national trials of developing pilot zones for rural reform, which added fresh impetus to the priority policy and quality development of agriculture and rural areas, and achieved remarkable results. This practice was formally written into the No.1 document of the Central Committee of 2018. This paper makes a case study of the agricultural industrialization conglomerates in Suzhou. Based on in-depth investigations, it first describes the background and basic characteristics of Suzhou's agricultural industrialization conglomerates; then, it analyses the major strategies, the remarkable results and the existing problems of developing the conglomerates; finally, with the whole province and even the whole country in view, it offers some recommendations on further promoting the healthy development of the conglomerates,which other places inside and outside Anhui province might follow and benefit from.
