Abstract: In order to break the dilemma of unbalanced and insufficient development of agricultural economy, an evaluation index system was constructed from five dimensions： agricultural economic efficiency, agricultural economic structure, agricultural economic coordination, agricultural economic sharing, and agricultural economic sustainable development to measure the level of agricultural economic development. The results showed that the higher level and lower level areas of agricultural economy in China were distributed on both sides of the Hu Huanyong line, and showed certain spatial agglomeration characteristics; the disparity of development level between regions was the main source of the disparity of agricultural economic development level in China. To eliminate the regional difference of agricultural economic development level, it was necessary to promote the regional coordinated development of agricultural economy and the high-quality development of agricultural economy.

Key words: agricultural economy, development level, regional differences
