Tea　contributes　significantly　to　the　agricultural　economy　of　the　main　producing　areas.　However,　there　are　many　factors　hindering　the　sustainable　development　of　the　tea　industry.　In　this　study,　we　employed　the　geographical　and　temporal　weighted　regression　(GTWR)　model　to　analyse　the　spatiotemporal　distribution　and　determinants　of　sustainable　tea　production　in　67　counties　in　Fujian　from　2008　to　2017.　Hence,　this　paper　considers　the　dependent　variable,　namely　the　sustainable　development　index,　and　the　independent　variables,　namely　the　environmental　regulation　intensity　(ERI),　the　government　financial　support　(FIS),　the　development　level　of　S&T　and　education　(STE),　regional　development　level　(RDL),　government　concerns　(GCO)　and　infrastructure　construction　(INC).　The　empirical　results　show　that　the　influences　of　factors　on　sustainable　development　have　obvious　spatiotemporal　heterogeneity.　On　the　whole,　ERI,　FIS,　GCO　and　INC　show　positive　influences　on　sustainable　development,　while　STE　and　RDL　show　negative　influences.　Ultimately,　some　practical　policy　recommendations　are　put　forward.　©　2021　Inderscience　Enterprises　Ltd..　All　rights　reserved.
