Abstract:Based on 284 entrepreneur farmers from eastern regions of China, this paper uses method of principal component analysis to classify 14 factors which will probably affect the performance of farmer entrepreneur into 5 main principal components and analyzes these 5 components with the help of Logit model. The result shows that macro environmental factors including government support and loan difficulty have the most significant effect on farmers' entrepreneurial performance; human capital and personal quality factors are the second most important factors; while effects of micro environmental factors on farmers' entrepreneurial performance show general tendency and gender factors have no obvious impact on farmers' entrepreneurial performance . Therefore, this paper proposes several suggestions, such as intensifying government support, smoothing financing channels and strengthening exchanges and training of farmers entrepreneurs in order to increase farmer entrepreneurship performance.
