Abstract: Optimization of industrial structure in agriculture is an important way to promote efficiency and increase farmers’ income. After analyzing theories on industrial structure in agriculture, we focus on both the overall growth and the resources of agricultural growth in Western China. We collect per capita net income of rural residents, data on the measurement of agriculture industrial structure, energy efficiency indicators in ten provinces in Western China from 1985 to 2008, and establish a panel data model to explore the influence of agricultural structure on farmers’ income in western rural areas, as well as the relationship between agricultural structure and energy efficiency. The empirical results show that optimization of agricultural structure has positive effects on farmers’ income and energy efficiency in western rural areas.
