Abstract: Fujian Province is mostly mountainous, and faces sea, so the natural geographical environ-ment and social economic conditions render coastal and inland regional differentiation characteristics , especial-ly the agricultural production.In order to explore the differences of agricultural production between coastal de-veloped areas and inland underdeveloped mountainous regions, Fuqing City in the coastal areas and Songxi County in the inland mountainous regions were taken as research objects to analyze the evolution of their agri-cultural industrial structure in the recent 18 years.The diversity index and dominance index were used for this analysis.The factors affecting the formation and variation of agricultural industrial structure were also put for-ward in this paper.The results indicated that: ① the diversity index of agricultural industrial structure de-creased , while the dominance index rose from 1995 to 2013 both in the two regions.But there were significant differences between the two regions in the change of agricultural industrial structure.②On the time scale of 18 years, Fuqing City confirmed the major agricultural products, including vegetables, aquatic products, milk, eggs and meat, which displayed an obvious echelon developing trend; and the development of grain crops was greatly weakened.There were large gaps in the output of agricultural products in Songxi County.It showed that the mountainous special agricultural products and urban service products developed more quickly;although the yield declined, the grain crops still occupied important positions.③Land use structure, industri-alization, urbanization and agricultural policy were the main factors affecting the formation and evolution of ag-ricultural industrial structure; and their function were diverse according to the different agricultural regional conditions.
