The Innovations Of Logistic Pattern For Agricultural Products

Directed by the Marxist Economic Theory, the thesis analyzes the dynamic mechanisms of historical changes and modal evolution in the development of Agricultural Products Logistics(APL) in China since the foundation of the PRC, researches into its present situation, and analyzes the problems on the backwardness of fundamental logistic facilities, the deterioration of the sincere setting, the shortage of the financial resource supplies, etc. in the current stage where our multi-patterns of logistic innovation were mainly directed by third party logistics. Referring to the successful experience of APL in developed countries and the situation of rural finance, logistic companies, and supply chain companies of agricultural products, the thesis puts forward that building a new logistic financial pattern combining modern APL with rural finance will surely be chosen for APL companies, financial corporations and supply chain companies to timely adjusting operating strategies, search opportunities and realize all-win situation according to the industrial setting.The year 2009 is the 60th anniversary of the PRC. During this period, with the end of the People Communes and the overall progress and continuous improvement of the Household Contract Responsibility System, agricultural commodity economy and agricultural market economy have developed rapidly. Having adapted to their development, the traditional model of APL generally is being transformed into a professional social one when numerous new organizations of APL like 'processing businesses and farmers', 'current businesses and famers', 'wholesaler and wholesale market and retail', third party logistics, etc. have sprung up. The system building of the APL has developed sufficiently. Because of the existing problems such as the backwardness of fundamental logistic facilities, the shortage of the financial resource supplies in rural areas, the Information Asymmetry among innovation subjects and the lack of sincerity, financial products of APL haven't developed or been used sufficiently, as well as the failure to fulfill the demands for various financial logistics services of agricultural products like 'financing, settlement, risk diversification', etc. and the seriousness of supply chain companies' lacking financial channels and cash flow. Therefore enhancing the awareness financial innovations and the ability to create new financial tools for APL and manage risk is urgent for the present APL industry in China.At present the APL industry in China is faced with such severe external challenges as the further open of the interior agricultural products market, the weakly competitive companies, the occupancy of the advanced logistic market by foreign investment, as well as the interior pressures like the slowdown increase of logistic entities, the fall of the market price, the shortage of capital and investment, and the decreasing benefit. Coping with challenges, the APL industry should search for the new economic growth point of benefits to realize the transformation from a traditional logistics to a modern financial one. It therefore plays an important and great role in upgrading APL industry in China to refer to the successful experience of developed countries, promote the cooperation between the logistic corporations and financial institutions like the Agricultural Bank, the Rural Credit Cooperatives, expand space for agricultural products financial logistics, realize the high efficiency integration of APL with cash flow, and construct the system and policy framework of the financial support in constructing the theory of agricultural products industry in China.
