Abstract: According to the theory of collaborative governance, an indicator system was constructed to measure the collaborative degree of multi-agent governance of tea farmers' green production behavior. A sample dataset of 872 cases from Anxi County, Wuyishan City and Fuding City, Fujian Province, were used to evaluate the collaborative effect of multi-agent collaborative governance of tea farmers' green production behavior and empirically analyze its influencing factors, where a collaborative degree model of compound system and a confirmatory factor analysis model were employed. Results show that:(1) The order degree of each subsystem in the multi-agent collaborative governance system of green production behavior among tea farmers in the research area is low and imbalance. (2) The multi-agent collaborative governance synergy degree of green production behavior among tea farmers in Anxi County, Wuyishan City and Fuding City is in the general collaborative form, and has not reached the optimal collaborative state. (3) The five dimensions of measurement indicators, namely, governance agent participation, governance object development, governance mechanism assurance, governance goal orientation and governance environment promotion, have a significant positive impact on the multi-agent collaborative governance effect of green production behavior among tea farmers, while variations exist among the five dimensions. Based on these findings, the following policy recommendations are put forward:harness the collaborative role of various governance agent, enhance the participation level of governance in the governance of green production behavior among tea farmers, improve the realization mechanism of multi-agent collaborative governance and ensure the efficient coordination of governance of green production behavior among tea farmers, improve the system structure of multi-agent collaborative governance and enhance the function of governance elements of green production behavior among tea farmers.

Key words: green production behavior, multi-agent collaborative governance, collaborative governance effect, collaborative degree model of compound system, tea farmer
