Abstract:

With the in-depth implementation of the Rural Revitalization Strategy in Shandong Province, the production structure of sorghum has been continuously optimized and adjusted, and the situation of supply and demand has been significantly changed, the transformation rate of scientific and technological achievements has been gradually increased, and the development of sorghum industry has attracted much attention. In 2019, the planting area and yield of sorghum in Shandong Province decreased, the market price increased, and the development of industry integration was accelerated. The prospect of new sorghum varieties and new technologies is broad. However, there are still problems, such as fewer special-purpose varieties, low level of mechanization, lack of supporting policies, and weak brand effect. Thus, this paper puts forward countermeasures to promote the development of sorghum industry from the aspects of strengthening policy support, implementing the talent incentive mechanism, matching and popularizing new varieties and techniques, enhancing brand cultivation and publicity, adjusting industrial structure and so on.
