Abstract

Many fresh agricultural products (FAP) cannot achieve “smooth flow of goods" and “make the best value”. FAP are perishable items and difficult to store and transport for a long time. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to study the structure of FAP supply chain. In this paper, firstly, it introduced the features of FAP supply chain and analyzed the existing types and structural characteristics of FAP supply chains. Secondly, taking the case of Shaanxi Province, this paper took advantage of principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis to study the FAP supply chain of 10 cities. The results show that Xi’an belongs to consumer-oriented logistics city, it should mainly develop the logistics supply chain whose core is the third-party logistics or supermarket chains. At the same time, develop the logistics supply chain which is dominated by production and processing enterprises or wholesale markets as supplement. Tongchuan is an agricultural production-oriented logistics city, it should construct the supply chain that focus on production and processing enterprises and wholesale markets. Others are defined as logistics eclectic cities, they should focus on the development of agricultural production and processing enterprises according to different products in different cities. Finally, a environment configuration and platform of fresh agricultural products supply chain status monitoring was built based on the network of things to obtain the real-time information of products. The conclusions have certain significance to the selection of FAP supply chain in Shaanxi Province.
