Based on the panel data of 11 provinces in the western region from 2012—2021, the concept of high-quality development was added on the basis of the existing research, and the index system was constructed in combination with the connotation of agricultural and rural modernization, and the entropy method, Dagum Gini coefficient, kernel density estimation and grey correlation analysis were used to empirically analyze them. The results show that the overall high-quality development level of agricultural and rural modernization in western China shows a positive trend, and there are significant regional differences. The level of economic development, the level of financial support for agriculture and the level of science and technology are the main factors driving the high-quality development of agricultural and rural modernization in the western region. Based on this, feasible recommendations are proposed.
