Abstract: 【Objective】To clarify the research status,hotspots and trends of high quality agricultural development in China.【Methods】From October 30,2017 to April 30,2023,254 Chinese core literature and 46 foreign language literature were retrieved from CNKI database and Web of Science database.The bibliometric method and CiteSpace software were used to analyze research hotspots of high quality agricultural development in China from the aspects of publication trend,keywords frequency and keywords clustering. The research trends were analyzed based on keywords emergent.【Results】From 2017 to 2023,the number of publications in Chinese and foreign languages increased year by year. The gap between the two had a trend of “first expanding and then shrinking”. The keywords with highest frequency in Chinese and foreign language literature were “High quality development”（124 times）and “Performance”（12 times）respectively,while “Agriculture”（0.77）,“System”（0.33）and “Agriculture”（0.33）had the highest centrality,respectively. Eleven keywords clusters were in Chinese literature,including High quality development,High quality agricultural development,and new development concepts etc. Eleven keywords clusters in the foreign language literature included Green total factor productivity,Consumption upgrading,and the EKC model etc. The research hotspots in Chinese literature were the connotation,current situation,evaluation subjects,and influencing factors of high quality agricultural development. There was a consensus on the connotation interpretation and analysis of the current situation,which was that the high quality agricultural development was the development of new developmental concepts for the integration of innovation,coordination,green,openness,and sharing. The level of high quality agricultural development was relatively low,but on the rise,and regional development was unbalanced. The research hotspots for foreign language literature were green total factor productivity,green agricultural development,effects and mechanisms. The results of keywords emergent showed that the focus on digital economy,rural finance,ecological environment and agricultural total factor productivity was increasing year by year.【Conclusion】Research on high quality agricultural development is gradually increasing,focusing on the aspects such as interpretation of connotation,current situation,evaluation subjects,and influencing factors,with consensus conclusions reached in some fields. Exploring the impact of digital economy,rural finance,ecological environment and other factors on high quality agricultural development are the future research trends.
