Abstract: Analysis of factors influencing growers’ willingness to grow tobacco was conducted using logistic model based on 123 questionnaires from growers of Enshi tobacco growing counties, Hubei province, in 2012. Results showed that tobacco growing history and degree of satisfaction with tobacco buys policy had positive effects on growers’ willingness to grow tobacco. However, growers’ age, gender and education level, tobacco growing input and output showed no influence on growers’ willingness. This was a special result for mountainous area,and we suggest that enhancing infrastructure and spreading agricultural machinery was the basic to improve growers’ willingness.
