Abstract: The entropy method was used to construct an evaluation index system for agricultural high-quality development in Yan’an City, focusing on four dimensions： improvement in output quality and efficiency, green product development, integration development of industries, and prosperity of farmers’ lives. The level of agricultural high-quality development in Yan’an City from 2012 to 2021 was measured. At the same time combined with the obstacle factor diagnosis model, the main factors that restricted the high-quality development of agriculture in Yan’an City as well as its various districts and counties （cities） were analyzed. The results showed that the level of high-quality development of agriculture in Yan’an City improved steadily, but each district and county （city） had its own unique characteristics. Industrial integration development and green product development were the main weaknesses; how to improve the living standard of farmers was the key problem to be solved in each region. Therefore, deepening supply-side structural reform and optimizing resource allocation should be prioritized along with adopting differentiated developmental strategies to effectively solve the problems existing in the process of high-quality development of agriculture in Yan’an City.
