Abstract: Based on grounded theory, a large amount of literature was reviewed, relevant indicators were screened, and finally, the Analytic Hierarchy Process was used to determine the weights of each indicator. The results showed that the evaluation index system for the development level of the new-type rural collective economy mainly consisted of three first-level indicators: Operation mechanism, development approach, and supervision mechanism, along with nine second-level indicators. Among them, four indicators, namely stable operation mode, industrial integration development, internal supervision, and external supervision, had the greatest impact on the development level of the new-type rural collective economy. Strategies for improving the development level of the new-type rural collective economy were proposed from three aspects.

Key words: new-type rural collective economy, development level, index system, analytic hierarchy process
