Abstract: A field survey about R&D behaviour of Jiangxi province agricultural leading enterprises was conducted. R&D behaviour of agricultural leading enterprise was analysed through R&D department setting, R&D intensity, R&D frequency and R&D mode. Most enterprises had set up specific R&D department, adopted independent R&D and cooperative R&D mode, but R&D intensity of vast majority enterprises was at lower level. Only a third of enterprises had continuous R&D activities. Then the correlation between firm size, ownership, industry type and R&D behaviour was analysed. There was a positive and weak correlation between firm size and R&D department setting, R&D intensity, R&D frequency. Ownership and industry type had no significant relation with R&D behaviour.
