基于2012—2016年的省级面板数据，运用泰尔指数测算了农业对外直接投资的地区差异，考察了农业对外直接投资的影响因素。结果表明：中国农业对外直接投资来源的地区差异非常突出，其中西部地区的差异最为明显。农业政策支持和经济发展水平对农业对外直接投资具有显著正向影响；生产率不是影响农业对外投资的主要因素。中国四大地区农业对外投资的影响因素表现出明显的地区差异：在东部地区，经济发展水平和产业规模优势的促进作用明显；在东北地区，农业政策的支持水平对企业“走出去”的推动和引导作用非常突出；在中部地区，产业规模优势有利于提高各省的农业对外直接投资规模；在西部地区，企业遵循着“先出口、后投资”的发展路径，出口规模对农业直接投资的影响显著。

Based on China’s Provincial Panel Data from 2012 to 2016, the article adopts Theil index to measure the regional disparity of agricultural foreign direct investment (AFDI) and examines the impact of agriculture on foreign direct investment. The results show that regional differences prevail in Chinese AFDI, with conspicuous disparities in western regions. Agricultural policy support and economic development levels have significant positive effects while productivity is not the main factor to affect AFDI. The determinants in four major regions in China manifest strikingly different characteristics: the facilitation of economic development and the industry scale advantages are distinct in the eastern region while in northeast region, the support of agricultural policies is more prominent in pushing and guiding competent enterprises to go globally.However, in central region, industrial scale advantages are beneficial to improving the scale of AFDI whereas in western region, enterprises follow the development path of giving priority to export over foreign direct investment, with a significant influence of the export scale on AFDI.
