Abstract: Based on the perspective of industrial integration, an evaluation index system for agricultural and rural modernization development level in Fujian Province was constructed, and the level and regional differences of agricultural and rural modernization development in 9 cities in Fujian Province were measured and compared from both temporal and spatial dimensions. The entropy weight method was used to calculate the weight of the index system, and measure the development level of agricultural and rural modernization in Fujian Province from 2014 to 2020. Then the K-means clustering analysis method was introduced to find out the main factors affecting the development of agricultural and rural modernization in Fujian Province. The results showed that there were significant differences in the development level of agricultural and rural modernization in every city of Fujian Province, with an overall positive trend, showing a development trend of better performance in the central Fujian region, middle performance in the southern Fujian region, and backwardness in the northern Fujian region. The driving force of industrial integration and agricultural production scale were important factors that constrained the development of agricultural and rural modernization in Fujian Province. Therefore, policy recommendations such as formulating development plans tailored to local conditions, strengthening the construction of an integrated development system for agricultural industries, and deepening supply-side structural reforms were proposed.

Key words: industrial integration, modernization of agriculture and rural areas, obstacle model, entropy weight method, Fujian Province
