Purpose This study investigates the impact of e-commerce on high-quality agricultural development (HQAD) in China. As sector transitions towards higher quality production digital era, understanding influence pathways and mechanisms becomes crucial. We aim to quantify this through a hierarchical approach. Methods Utilizing provincial panel data from 2000 2021, we construct comprehensive HQAD evaluation system using entropy method. Parallel mediating effect models are employed empirically assess multi-level effects HQAD. Results Benchmark regression analyzes reveal significant positive HQAD, indicating its role as key driver China’s advancement. Mechanism tests identify several intermediary which indirectly promotes including market expansion, value chain optimization, enhanced social services, improved infrastructure. Notably, expansion optimization demonstrate most substantial mediation effects, accounting for 43.27 14.18% total effect, respectively. Discussion research contributes literature by establishing framework, providing theoretical foundation future studies. By incorporating circulation factors into system, elucidate complex production, addressing gap. Furthermore, propose novel “demand-driven supply optimization” paradigm, offering valuable insights policy formulation aimed at fostering
