Abstract Based on analyzing the mechanism of the impact of agricultural industry agglomeration on agricultural industry resilience, and based on panel data from 30 provinces in China (excluding Xizang, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) from 2011 to 2021, the paper uses entropy method to measure the resilience of agricultural industry and the degree of agricultural industry agglomeration from both horizontal and vertical perspectives. Using two-way fixed effect model and spatial Dobin model, the paper studies the direct impact of agricultural industry agglomeration on agricultural industry resilience and spatial spillover effect. The results indicate that the resilience of China’s agricultural sector shows a trend of annual improvement, with horizontal agglomeration in the agricultural industry slightly strengthening, vertical agglomeration significantly enhancing and albeit with considerable inter-provincial disparities. Both horizontal and vertical agglomeration in the agricultural industry significantly promote the improvement of agricultural industry resilience, and both exhibit positive spatial spillover effects, not only impacting local agricultural industry resilience but also enhancing the resilience of the surrounding regions’ agricultural industries. Heterogeneous analysis results show that agricultural industry clusters in major grain-producing areas have a positive effect on improving agricultural industry resilience, while agricultural industry clusters in non-major grain-producing areas have no significant effect on improving agricultural industry resilience. The policy implications derived from the aforementioned findings are as follows: There should be a clear delineation of the layout for agricultural industry agglomeration and the establishment of demonstration zones to showcase such agglomerations. The brand recognition of agricultural products should be enhanced to bolster the construction of agricultural product brands. Additionally, the development of the agricultural product processing industry and the cultivation of leading enterprises are essential to leverage the significant role of agricultural industry agglomeration in enhancing the resilience of the agricultural sector.
