Vegetable industry is developing rapidly in China．The development of vegetable industry
in different regions presents different characteristics．This paper established an evaluation index system
for Chinese vegetable industry competitiveness，based on the theory of national competitive advantage，
and combined with the actual development situation of vegetable industry in China．Then，this paper
analyzed the competitiveness of vegetable industry in various regions of China by factor analysis method
and system clustering analysis method．The results indicate that ① The development levels of vegetable
industry competitiveness in various regions of China are unbalanced．There are bigger differences existed in
competitiveness of vegetable industry in different provinces．The provinces with large vegetable production
and large agricultural production scale have stronger competitiveness，while those with weaker agriculture
foundation and smaller agricultural production scale，possess less competitiveness in vegetable industry．
② The vegetable industry in eastern regions has stronger competitiveness，while western regions has weaker
competitiveness．The vegetable industry in eastern regions has good development foundation and many
advantages in market requirement and transportation facilities．In western regions，the vegetable production
basis is relatively weak，and under the constraints of transportation facilities，the overall competitiveness of
vegetable industry is weak．③ The order of provinces with stronger competitiveness in vegetable industry are
as following：Shandong ＞ Henan ＞ Jiangsu ＞ Hubei ＞ Hunan ＞ Hebei ＞ Guangdong ＞ Zhejiang ＞
Sichuan．
