Abstract: From the perspective of micro-subjects of rapeseed planting, namely, the rape seed planting farmers, this paper made an analysis on factors influencing supply of rapeseed in provinces of China on the basis of panel data of 14 provinces producing rapeseed. Analysis indicates that decision of rapeseed planting area is influenced by planting area of the previous year and comparative benefits of rapeseed and the substitute crop wheat, while the local non-agricultural employment level exerts little influence on decision of rapeseed planting area. Finally, it came up with pertinent policy recommendations: since lagging influence of previous planting decisions and selection of planting decisions are a long period, formulation and implementation of any policy should consider long-term subsequent effect, instead of excessively focusing on policy objectives; strengthening new technological researches of new rapeseed varieties relying on scientific and technological innovation, enhancing construction of rapeseed production infrastructure, and improving integrated rapeseed production capacity, so as to increase relative income of rapeseed planting.
