Research on Agricultural Products Logistics Operational Pattern Based on Advanced IT Technology

Abstract:

Agriculture is the founding principle for a country which has great significance with national interest and people's livelihood. Some logistics links are stumble on information dissemination and high cost which are also the key factors that restrict agriculture logistics development. Based on the comprehensively summarizing of logistics theories both at home and abroad, the paper analyzes the current condition of logistics and finds the problems, such as the low level of information sharing, cumbersome process, expensive cost, low efficiency and less sensitive reaction to market.

In the end, through analysis and evaluation on the model, the paper concludes its advantages, like perfect service functions, strategic alliance with customers, altogether shedding risks, big profit margins, and high level information sharing.
