Studies On Development Of Modern Logistics In Chinese Agricultural Products

After the implementation of the household contract responsibility system, there has been an earth-shaking change in rural economy. The output of agricultural products has doubled and redoubled. By the late of 1990s, agricultural products had entered the phase of relative surplus instead of being shortage. In the course of this development appeared the new tough problems on agricultural, rural areas and farmers, such as the bad selling of agricultural products, and the slow growth of rural incomes, etc. Solving problems facing agricultural, rural areas and farmers becomes a top priority we have to confront. Currently, the lagging logistical system of agricultural products becomes the bottleneck of agricultural and rural development in our country. According to this situation, through thorough description and analysis of the logistical system, we would like to build up a modern logistical system of agricultural products.This paper is constituted by seven chapters, including the introduction. Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Comparative research on international agriculture-product logistics; Chapter 3: The third party logistics (3PL) and the new mode of agriculture-product logistics; Chapter 4: The subject and its behavior of modern agriculture-product logistics; Chapter 5: Strategy of modern agriculture-product logistics and supply chain management; Chapter 6: Optimization of logistical system of agricultural products; Chapter 7: Supportive system for the development of agriculture-product logistics. This paper might be innovative in the following three aspects:In the first place, this paper brings forward a strategic conception for developing the third party logistics. Based on the analyses on both the necessity and feasibility of developing agriculture-product logistics, and roundly grasping the advantages and disadvantages of 3PL, this paper develops the strategic conception for developing 3PL in the frame of WTO.Secondly, this paper illustrates the efficiency and its evaluative system of the agriculture-product supply chain. Based upon the basic definitions and explanations of agriculture-product logistics and supply chain management, this paper, analyzes the organizational efficiency of the supply chain, renders and designs the rudimentary thoughts and methods of integrating the supply chain, and systematically explains the efficiency and its evaluative system of the agriculture-product supply chain.
