As the most active field in the development of China's financial system, digital inclusive finance effectively alleviates the financing exclusion of traditional finance on the high-quality development of rural industries, and plays an important role in promoting rural consumption and high-quality development of rural industries. Based on the rural survey data of Jiangmen City in the 2024 Guangdong Thousand Villages Survey Project, this paper analyzes the impact of digital inclusive finance on the high-quality development of rural industries. The results show that digital inclusive finance can significantly improve the high-quality development level of rural industries in Jiangmen. In addition, the digital inclusive finance in villages with characteristic industries and younger village party branch secretaries has a more significant effect on the improvement of the high-quality development level of Jiangmen rural industry. Therefore, when promoting the implementation of inclusive finance, Jiangmen local government should pay attention to classified measures, and fully release the multiplier effect of digital finance on the high-quality development of Jiangmen rural industry by cultivating characteristic industries and optimizing the structure of cadre talents.
