Abstract: Chongqing is rich in agricultural production resources and has a large rural population. Innovatively cultivating superior characteristic agricultural industrial cluster is a new era requirement for the high-quality development of modern agriculture in Chongqing, and it is also an important means to promote the construction of a two-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region. Based on the yearbook data and field survey data, this paper compared the characteristics of domestic and foreign advantageous characteristic industrial clusters, used the location entropy method to measure the degree of agglomeration of agricultural industries in Chongqing, and analyzed the development status of Chongqing’s advantageous and characteristic industries. The study found that, at present, the whole city was still a self-sufficient area of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, but the agricultural industry had a strong momentum of development. Featured advantageous industries such as animal husbandry, tea, fruit, and freshwater fishery had great potential for industrial cluster cultivation. At the same time, innovation and cultivation of Chongqing’s advantageous characteristic industrial clusters was also facing many difficulties. The overall situation was scattered, the chain was short-lived and low-efficiency, weak and scattered, and the system of independent governance had severely restricted the development of Chongqing’s advantageous characteristic industrial clusters. Cultivating Chongqing’s advantageous and characteristic industrial clusters should make full use of location advantages, amplify characteristic resource endowments, explore new development models, break through traditional development forms, innovate industrial policy services, optimize industrial organization methods, exert regional linkage effects, and promote the realization of Chongqing agricultural modernization.
