Evolving Model Research of Layered Agri-Food Supply Chains Weighted Complex Networks

Abstract:

In this paper, we analyzed the characteristics of the agri-food supply chain network, described the reasons of the network hierarchy generated. Based on the analysis we proposed a layered agri-food supply chains weighted complex network model. This model possess topological characteristics of the real network, and effectively depicted the mechanism of formation and evolution of the agri-food supply chain network. This has important practical and theoretical significance for the rational design of agri-food supply chain network.
