Abstract: An evaluation index system for the integrated development of primary, secondary, and tertiary industries in rural areas of Xinjiang was constructed based on five dimensions: Industrial chain extension, multifunctional industry expansion, integration of agriculture and service industries, economic benefits, and social benefits. The entropy method was used to evaluate the level of integrated development of primary, secondary, and tertiary industries in rural areas of Xinjiang, and the grey correlation analysis method was employed to analyze the degree of correlation and impact of 12 tertiary indicators in the index system on farmer income increase and agricultural value addition. The results showed that from 2014 to 2021, the degree of integration of primary, secondary, and tertiary industries in rural areas of Xinjiang continued to deepen, with all secondary indicators showing an upward trend; however, the overall level of integrated development remained relatively low, and industrial chain extension contributed the most to the integrated development.The impact of various tertiary indicators on farmer income increase and agricultural value addition differed, but their degree of correlation was strong. The integrated development of primary, secondary, and tertiary industries in rural areas effectively promoted farmer income increase and agricultural value addition, strongly supporting the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy. To further advance the integrated development of primary, secondary, and tertiary industries in rural areas, Xinjiang still needed to promote agricultural industrial chain extension, build advantageous industrial clusters, expand industrial multifunctionality, enhance the quality and upgrading of leisure agriculture, integrate agriculture with service industries, strengthen production-marketing linkage services, prioritize farmer income increase, and advance coordinated urban-rural development.

Key words: farmer income increase, agricultural value addition, rural areas, primary secondary and tertiary industries, integrated development, evaluation, Xinjiang
