The alluvial plain and double - river irrigation support agriculture, and the local climate is suitable for high - quality crops. The area is rich in biological resources and has potential for ecological and cultural tourism [45][46][48]. - **Industrial Characteristics Analysis**: - **Pillar Industries**: Agriculture is based on cotton and jujube, with continuous optimization of the grain - economic crop structure. Industry has high - growth large - scale industries, driven by textile and agricultural and sideline product processing. The energy sector combines photovoltaic power generation with desert control. - **Supplementary Industries**: The livestock industry expands the variety and improves the cold - chain processing. The cultural and tourism industry is driven by desert tourism and Dolan culture, with significant growth in 2024 [53][57][61]. - **Potential Industries**: The new energy downstream industry has great potential, especially in energy storage manufacturing and computing power usage scenarios [65]. - **Industrial Development Challenges**: - **Intra - regional Competition**: In the cotton and cultural and tourism industries, Maigaiti County faces competition from other counties in Kashgar Prefecture. Its participation in the regional industrial chain is limited, and it needs to build more competitive industrial features [66]. - **Competition in Xinjiang**: In the cotton industry, there is room for improvement in production efficiency, quality, and cost control. The jujube industry has a relatively complete chain but needs to enhance its brand influence. - **Transportation**: The county's external transportation mainly relies on roads, with long distances to major transportation hubs and being affected by sandstorms, which brings uncertainties to industrial transportation and tourism [71][72]. 3 Industrial Policy Analysis: Initial Success in Park Cultivation, but Policies Need to be More Intensive and Effective - **Investment Promotion Policies**: Maigaiti County has introduced 26 key industrial projects since 2024, with multiple preferential measures. However, compared with neighboring cities, it needs to expand its policy space, learn from the models of Shache and Jiashi [74][75]. - **Industrial Park Layout**: The county adheres to the "one - district, multiple - parks, and differentiated development" approach, with a relatively complete park development pattern. But compared with Shache and Jiashi, it needs to improve the integration of industrial parks and strengthen the logistics function [76][78][80]. - **Industrial Development Potential**: Maigaiti County has the potential for in - depth integration of the three industries. However, in traditional and emerging industries, it lags behind some neighboring counties and needs to catch up in key areas [82][84]. 4 Summary and Suggestions: Strengthen Advantages, Cultivate Emerging Industries, Fill in Short - Boards, and Optimize the Environment - **Advantages**: The county has a dual foundation in resources and industries, with high - quality and stable - scale agricultural products, agglomerating light industries, and unique cultural and tourism resources [87]. - **Short - Boards**: There are problems such as poor connection between agricultural product processing and logistics, underdeveloped emerging industries, insufficient park facilities, and a weak transportation system [87]. - **Opportunities**: Supported by national and regional policies, there is potential for regional cooperation, and the market demand for related products and services is increasing [88]. - **Suggestions**: - **Extend and Strengthen the Industrial Chain**: Focus on cotton and jujube industries, introduce deep - processing projects, and build a stable industrial cluster [88]. - **Accelerate the Layout of Emerging Industries**: Formulate special development plans, introduce leading enterprises, and promote the integration of new energy and computing power [89]. - **Optimize Park Functions and Supporting Facilities**: Clarify the leading industries of each park, build public service platforms, and strengthen cooperation with regional logistics hubs [90]. - **Improve the Transportation and Logistics System**: Build high - speed channels and cold - chain storage facilities, and promote the digitalization of logistics [90]. - **Promote the Upgrading of Cultural and Tourism Integration**: Create a high - recognition cultural and tourism brand, enrich tourism products, and attract social capital for infrastructure construction [90].
