Abstract: Farmers' production behavior is the source of quality and safety of agricultural products,and the primary task to control the quality and safety of agricultural products is to research the factors affecting farmers’ behavior for safe production. We explored the factors influencing farmers’ decision-making for safe production behavior based on the theory of planned behavior and established the model of farmers' decision-making for safe production behavior based on cost-benefit theory. The model which was simulated and analyzed revealed the specific impact on farmers' safe production behavior decision from every influence factor in the quantitative point of view. Results of Netlogo simulation show that farmers’ decision-making for safe production is affected by education level of farmers, production volume, participation in production organization and government regulation including punishment policy and supervision sampling rate.

Key words: agricultural products, quality and safety, farmers behavior, Netlogo simulation
