We collected 416 valid sample data from practitioners related to Yingde black tea through an online survey questionnaire, and used structural equation modeling to obtain government support (β = 0.196, p<0.005), resource allowance (β = 0.144, p<0.05), industrial cluster (β = 0.231, p<0.005) and regional culture (β = 0.335, p<0.005) are positively related to reputation of regional public brands for agricultural products. Industrial clusters and regional culture play the mediating roles between government support, resource empowerment, and the reputation of regional public brands for agricultural products. The results breaks through the single influencing factor perspective of existing research and comprehensively analyzes the interrelationships of different influencing factors in the formation process of regional public brands for agricultural products.
