Abstract: In order to improve farmers’ cognitive level of agricultural products, and guide farmers’ safe producing behavior, the important factors affecting farmers’ cognitive level of the quality and safety of agricultural products were analyzed by Logit regression model using survey data of 474 households in six provinces in eastern China. The results showed that age, education level and other characteristics of famers themselves did not have significant effect on the cognitive level, while external factors including market factors, government regulation factors and regional factors had important effect. Finally the authors put forward suggestions including strengthening the construction of rural information and grassroots social service system, and promoting the certification process of agricultural products.
