Abstract

Rapeseed is one of the main sources of edible vegetable oil. It is particularly important to clarify the comparative advantages of rapeseed production to optimize the distribution of rapeseed production and improve its competitiveness. Based on the relevant data of rapeseed production in China from 1997 to 2020, this paper calculates the comparative advantage of rapeseed by constructing comprehensive comparative advantage index, resource endowment coefficient and location entropy, then analyzes the spatial agglomeration changes of rapeseed in China by using regional gravity center method and spatial autocorrelation, and further analyzes the driving factors affecting the production of rapeseed in China. The results showed that: (1) The production advantages of rapeseed in China are basically in line with the main production areas, and the Yangtze River Basin production area has obvious comparative advantages and competitiveness in rapeseed production (2). The distribution of rapeseed production shows the characteristics of “westward migration to the south”. China’s rapeseed production centre of gravity has moved in the same direction as the sown area centre of gravity. (3) There is a significant positive spatial autocorrelation in the spatial distribution of rapeseed production in China.
