Research Of Agricultural Products Logistics Distribution Center Location

China is a rich agricultural products country,a variety of agricultural products' output are number one in the world,but there are some objective problems with China's agriculture,such as high cost,low efficiency,under-developed in logistics technology and big waste in storage and transport of agricultural products logistics.These problems still haven't been solved well,China's agriculture is in the important stage of transition.This paper studies the location selection of agricultural products logistics distribution center,in order to help establish distribution center area in the right place,to achieve the purpose of reducing costs.First,this article studies the theory knowledge of agricultural products logistics and distribution center location,summarizes the theoretical research results in the field of agricultural products logistics of the domestic and foreign scholars.Put forward the research ideas and research methods of this paper.Then this paper summarizes the development course and advantages of agricultural products logistics of the Europe,the United States,and Japan.Next the paper analyzes the situation of agricultural products logistics development of China and main problems existing in the development.Put forward the advice for the development of agricultural products logistics of China.Then the paper constructs the objective function of costs minimizing based on the analysis of agricultural products logistics in our country,the costs include the transportation cost and the cost of the in-transit loss from the suppliers to the distribution center and the distribution center to the demand partners,plus the construction cost of distribution center.Then the paper uses the grey correlation method to establish the connection between the evaluation indicators of the alternative location and the best evaluation indicators.The evaluation indicators include infrastructure,agricultural development,impact of economic,cost,policy,the impact of ecological.Finally the paper regards Lu'an city as empirical research object,to calculate the objective function and find the best location of the agricultural products logistics distribution center.
