Abstract: [Objective] This study was conducted to investigate and analyze the competitiveness status of the indigenous pig farming enterprises in Yunnan Province and to provide references for enhancing their competitiveness. [Method] Based on the Michael Porter′s value chain theory and combined with the industry characteristics of indigenous pig farming enterprises and the availability of related data, a competitiveness evaluation index system composed of 20 indicators for the indigenous pig farming enterprises in Yunnan Province was established from the dimensions of enterprise capital, human resource, production status as well as science and technology level. The survey data were collected from 15 indigenous pig farming enterprises in 9 prefectures or cities of Yunnan Province in 2020, and were used to evaluate the competitiveness of the surveyed enterprises by using entropy weight TOPSIS method. [Result]①The competitiveness comprehensive level of the indigenous pig farming enterprises in Yunnan Province ranged from 0.102 4 to 0.634 0, with an average value of 0.368 7 and a standard deviation of 0.149 8. The highest value （0.634 0） was observed in the No.7 enterprise, which reached a good level. While the lowest one （0.102 4） was observed in the No.12 enterprise, which was at a poor level. ②In terms of each sub-item weight and level, enterprise capital had the highest （37%） weight, followed by production status （24%） as well as science and technology level （24%）, and human resource had the lowest （15%） weight. The average value, standard deviation and variation coefficient of enterprise capital level were 0.346 3, 0.184 2 and 0.531 9, respectively. The average value, standard deviation and variation coefficient of human resource level were 0.377 7, 0.183 7 and 0.486 4, respectively. The average value, standard deviation and variation coefficient of production status level were 0.378 2, 0.141 8 and 0.374 9, respectively. The average value, standard deviation and variation coefficient of science and technology level were 0.340 7, 0.221 6 and 0.650 4, respectively. [Conclusion] The competitiveness of the indigenous pig farming enterprises in Yunnan Province was relatively weak, and no enterprises reached the high-quality level. Only one enterprise reached the good level, and the vast majority of the enterprises were at the medium or below level. The human resource and production status of the surveyed enterprises were relatively good and exhibited minor gaps with each other. While the highly weighted enterprise capital as well as science and technology level were relatively weak and displayed disparities with each other. For enhancing the competitiveness of the indigenous pig farming enterprises in Yunnan Province, this paper suggests that the conservation and development of the excellent breeds of indigenous pig should be taken as the core, the development of leading enterprises should be fully supported, the own commercial brands should be established, and the scientific and technological innovation in pig farming should be emphasized.
