Abstract: The geographic concentration index and spatial autocorrelation method were used to analyze the spatial and temporal distribution change characteristics of geographical indications for agricultural products in Guangxi and influencing factors. The results showed that the number of geographical indications of agricultural products had increased every year in the last ten years in Guangxi, but the inter-annual fluctuation range was large, and the number of geographical indications for aquatic product species was obviously less than that for the animal husbandry and plant; the spatial distribution of geographical indications of agricultural products showed a certain concentration at the city dimension, but the spatial aggregation was not significant. The geographical indications of agricultural products were mainly distributed in the mountainous region on the west and north in Guangxi, while the distribution of aquatic products and grain products in south Guangxi and coastal region. Regional administrative areas, natural environment conditions and local government support had great influence on the distribution of geographical indications for agricultural products. On the contrary, regional economic development level had no direct relationship with the distribution of geographical indications for agricultural products. The local governments of Guangxi should actively participate in the declaration and protection of geographical indications for agricultural products, make more influential agricultural brands, and promote rural revitalization and development.
