Promoting the digital transformation of rural industry is a necessary path for the modernisation and development of agriculture and rural areas. Based on the evolutionary game theory, this paper constructs a tripartite evolutionary game model of the government, digital technology suppliers, and rural industry subjects, analyses the evolutionary stability strategies and influencing factors of each subject, and carries out numerical simulation analysis using MATLAB.The study found that: (1) The strategy choices of each game subject affect each other. The probability of the government's "encourage" strategy decreases with the increase of the probability of the digital technology supplier's active "supply" or the probability of the rural industry subject's active "adopt". Similarly， a higher "encourage" probability by the government and higher "adopt" probability by the rural industrial entities showed a higher "supply" probability by the digital technology providers. (2) The size of the initial probability and the change of each parameter has an important impact on the choice of behavioural strategy in the main body of the game. The evolutionary stability strategy eventually tends to the government taking "encourage", digital technology suppliers taking "supply", rural industry subjects taking "adopt". This paper finally puts forward relevant suggestions from the government, digital technology suppliers and rural industrial subjects.
