The Study On The Development Of Agricultural Products Cold Chain Logistics

As an important part of the food safety chain, cold-chain logistics has become an important symbol to measure the level of a country’s development and technology in the circulation field, it’s also the field that the government and the people pay their close attentions to. In addition, speeding up the development of cold-chain logistics has great significance to promote the development of the agriculture and frozen food industry, stabilize the sustained increase in farmers’incomes and insure the food safety. However, because the cold-chain logistics industry in China started relatively late, it still exist many problems such as low integration level, insecurity in the quality of the cold-chain food, failure of accurately grasp the consumption trend, disorder of industry competition and serious waste in transportation. As a result, the contradiction between supply and demand of cold-chain logistics market in China is obvious. Therefore, it is imminent and urgent to do the research in view of the present situation of cold-chain logistics development, to find out key factors restricting the development of cold-chain logistics and put forward the corresponding solutions and development strategy for promoting the benign development of cold-chain logistics in China.At present, the research literature about the agricultural cold-chain logistics is relatively small. Through the existing research results, there are three aspects of defects: Firstly, insufficiency of theory research in the aspects of agricultural cold-chain logistics system goal and link form; secondly, it has been unable to meet the requirement of times development to evaluate cold-chain logistics enterprises with the basic theory and the index system of the traditional logistics enterprises performance evaluation at this stage; thirdly, there still have many shortcomings in the method of cold-chain logistics enterprise’s efficiency research currently:first of all, the efficiency evaluation values which gained through the major empirical approach for analyzing the efficiency such as activity-based cost method, index number method, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and data envelopment method mostly fail to eliminate the impact of environmental factors and random error factors on the efficiency of the cold-chain logistics industry, so the evaluation of the efficiency value can not be a true measurement of the efficiency of cold-chain logistics industry at present stage in China. Then, variable selection of input and output performance directly related to the accuracy of the evaluation results, but the related research on variable selection of input and performance output failed to form a unified and authoritative standards.Based on this situation, the author build a evaluation index system of cold-chain logistics enterprises efficiency based on green supply chain on the basis of combing the related concepts and basic theory of modern logistics, and try to give empirical analysis to related efficiency data of selected Zhongleng and Shuanghui using the three-stage DEA model. To a certain extent, this study fills the blank of related research in this field of theory in domestic. At the same time, it provided a new idea for promoting the efficiency of cold chain logistics enterprises in China under the background of ecological civilization construction. The relevant policy recommendations proposed in this paper’s research conclusion can also promote the benign development of cold chain logistics industry in our country to a certain extent.This study comprehensively used the principle of discipline such as microeconomics, international economics, industry economics, agricultural economics and econometrics, combing research methods of qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis, macro analysis and micro analysis. It starts from the basic theory of economics, with normative analysis as the main body, and necessary empirical analysis as the auxiliary, commonly building the method of the thesis analysis with the integrated use of a variety of analysis methods. Overall, this study followed the research idea of "put forward questions-analyze problems-solving countermeasures". Firstly it put forward the problems in the development of cold chain logistics in our country; then it analyzed the current situation, the main problems and development trend of Chinese agricultural cold-chain logistics; lastly it explored the countermeasures of developing cold-chain logistics industry in our country through the empirical analysis and foreign relevant experience for reference.In this paper, the main research contents include the following aspects:Firstly, the practical significance and the theory significance of the study on agricultural products cold-chain logistics development in China.First of all, this paper expounded the practical significance of this study from the aspects of growth trends of food production and consumption in China, the increase in the needs of ensuring food safety in our country, efficiency is the basis of the cold-chain logistics enterprise’s survival and development. Then, through the summary of domestic related research literature of cold-chain logistics, this paper summarized the defects exist in the theoretical research field such as the operation of the target and link structure, enterprise performance evaluation index system, the empirical analysis method of agricultural cold-chain logistics system. This paper not only made clear of the key direction of future research, but also analyzed its contribution to the theory of cold-chain logistics research field.Secondly, the major dilemmas facing and future development trends of China’s agricultural products cold chain logisticsThe author researched the condition and main problems facing of China’s cold chain logistics from the field of both supply and demand. Then the green supply chain of agricultural products cold chain logistics is verified the inevitable trend of future development from six aspects. There were development of green cold chain logistics is conducive to environmental protection, the development of green cold chain logistics is an important inspector of achieving sustainable development strategy, the development of green cold chain logistics help enterprises get rid of the green trade barriers, the development of green cold chain logistics help enterprises to reduce costs, the development of green cold chain logistics can enhance corporate’ social responsibility and reputation degrees, the development of green cold chain logistics can meet society’s material and cultural life needs.Thirdly, how to build a evaluation system of agricultural products cold chain logistics which is suit to China’s national conditions and characteristics of the times.After the analyzes on performance of concerns, product characteristics and principles of green supply chain and cold chain, the author build up a evaluation system which is combined with six two indicators such as financial management, cold chain processes, customer service, collaborative capabilities, green and development and5three indicators performance such as return on total assets.Lastly, the effective way of promoting the development of China’s agricultural products cold chain logistics industry.Based on the research of foreign agricultural products cold chain logistics’ development status and experience, the author used three-stage DEA empirical methods and the date of Shuanghui, Shenzhen Co., Ltd. and other enterprises, by using the methods of previously the green supply chain of agricultural products cold chain logistics enterprise performance evaluation system analyze the problem, in order to proposes effective suggestions for the development of China’s agricultural products cold chain logistics. First, the government should intensify efforts to support and improve the legal system. Second, it is important to develop suitable talents of cold chain logistics. Third, construction of hardware and software should be enhanced to achieve information integration; Fourth, cold chain logistics can be promoted by the using of fourth party logistics enterprises. Fifth, it is important to strengthen the overall planning of agricultural products cold chain logistics and the intermodal mechanisms. Sixth, the establishment of an integrated cold chain logistics model is good to achieve a common distribution.
