THE EVALUATION OF REGIONAL LOGISTICS COMPETITIVENESS OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS IN CHINA AND SPATIAL ANALYSIS ON THE DIFFERENCES.

Nowadays, few scholars focus on the research on regional logistics competitiveness of agricultural products. The innovation of this paper is to make up for this shortage. Firstly, in the paper, the influence factors of regional logistics competitiveness of agricultural products are analyzed, on the basis of which the evaluation index system is constructed, and factor analysis is used to evaluate logistics competitiveness of agricultural products in 31 provinces. Secondly, different methods, such as Theil index, nich index and spatial autocorrelation analysis, are used to analyze the differences of regional logistics competitiveness of agricultural products. Following results can be obtained. 1) Regional logistics competitiveness of agricultural products is being improved in China Mainland. 2) Overall difference of agricultural products logistics competitiveness of 31 provinces shows a downtrend and the differences within east and west regions are the main body of overall difference. 3) The development of agricultural products logistics competitiveness appears to be accelerating. 4) The clustering trend of provinces with high level and high hoisting speed is strengthening, and east and central regions are hot spots of development.
