Objective/Meaning The high-quality development of agriculture was the new orientation of agricultural development in China. Exploring the high-quality development level of agriculture in Xinjiang and its obstacle factors would provide reference for promoting the rapid development of agriculture in Xinjiang and accelerating the modernization of agriculture and rural areas.

Methods/Procedures Based on the new development pattern of “double circulation”, the evaluation indicators were selected from the five dimensions of technological innovation, coordinated development, green environment, opening-up level and sharing degree. Then, the entropy weight method was used to measure the high-quality development level of agriculture in Xinjiang from 2011 to 2020, and the diagnostic model of obstacle factors was used to analyze the factors restricting the high-quality development of agriculture in Xinjiang.

Results/Conclusions The high-quality development level of agriculture in Xinjiang showed a gradually rising trend, especially in the green environment and the sharing degree, it has been greatly improved. From the perspective of the diagnostic model of obstacle factors, the opening-up level and the degree of coordinated development had a higher degree of restriction on the high-quality development of agriculture. In order to further improve the level of agricultural development in Xinjiang, based on the conditions of agricultural development in the regions of Xinjiang, it was necessary to formulate the corresponding development policies according to the local conditions, strengthen the institutional guarantee, and promote the high-quality development of local agriculture.
