The e-commerce of fresh agricultural products, as a part of online shopping, is generally affected by both the general factors of online shopping and the products’ own specific factors.In this paper, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which is the most simple and internationally generally accepted model to strongly explain the fact, is used to analyze the influencing factors of fresh agricultural products online shopping.Firstly, the development status and existing problems of fresh agricultural products online shopping are analyzed.
