Positive Analysis And Countermeasure Study On The Development Of Agricultural Products Logistics In Gansu Province

In recent years, Gansu's characteristic agriculture and regional superiority agriculture has developed rapidly. However, its agricultural product logistics is backward, which not only prevents the superiority agricultural product from circulating smoothly and realizing its value, but also hinders the further development of Gansu's characteristic agriculture seriously. Combined current development situation of agricultural product logistics in Gansu and theories on modern logistics, this paper attempts to probe into the main affect factors and related countermeasure, which influence the development of agricultural product logistics in Gansu province.Positive analysis of the development of Gansu's agricultural product logistics indicates that: The scale of agricultural product logistics market in Gansu Province amounts to 6 billion Yuan, but self-supply logistics accounts for the proportion to reach as high as 94%, which shows that the market development space is huge; The third party logistics just starts. The state-owned logistics enterprises are out-of-date in conception and its operation mechanism lacks of flexibility, and the non-capital logistics enterprise has less capital, smaller scale and weaker service; Financial investment is seriously insufficient, and infrastructure construction of agricultural product logistics is undeveloped; The policy environment lags behind during the agricultural product logistics development, which makes many difficulty to realize its radical change in a short time. As the market microscopic subject as concerned, pursuing profit maximization is its natural disposition. Therefore, cost-and-benefit comparison between different logistics patterns becomes the inner mechanism of logistics decision-making. Many kinds of realistic factors must be taken into accounted, such as the importance of logistics to enterprise's strategic, enterprise's logistics management ability, investment risk as well as the social cost caused when out-souring logistics was adopted etc. The development of Gansu's agricultural product logistics is not only influenced by factors from market's micro body, but also some macro factors such as social awareness, economy development level, infrastructure construction and market environment.The field convey and analysis on the maize seed industry in He-xi area shows: (1) The maize seed logistics in He-xi area is still very under-developed, the consciousness of agricultural product enterprise is not very strong.(2) The self-supplied logistics is still the main...
