This paper analyzed existing problems in development of rural e-commerce and logistics in China,mainly including objective restriction of rural e-commerce and logistics by economic level,relatively backward capital construction facilities,lack of logistics information service platform,and insufficient professional personnel,and shortage of rural logistics professional personnel,and weak financial support of government. On the basis of these problems,it came up with pertinent recommendations from government,enterprises,and rural areas.展开更多

However the consumption and pollution generated by manufacturing industry and logistics industry linkage in China are also large at present. How to conduct manufacturing industry and logistics industry linkage by the low-carbon manner is one of most important issues under current low-carbon economy background. In this paper,the issue is studied and analyzed by constructing system dynamics model,which could propose suggestions for low-carbon linkage development of manufacturing industry and logistics industry.展开更多

However,agriculture is a high-risk industry; one big obstacle restricting Chinese rural economic development is financing difficulty in the agricultural products producing and processing enterprises. This paper,on the foundation of analyzing the current situation of Chinese agricultural products market,with the theory of modern logistics finance,puts forward the approach of establishing Chinese agricultural products logistics pledge system,and illustrates the function of agricultural products logistics warehouse receipt pledge system in the new rural construction.展开更多

With the deepening of the concept of environmental protection, the application of low-carbon logistics technology is not only an inevitable choice for adapting to social development and responding to environmental protection slogans, but also an inevitable choice for the logistics industry to achieve sustainable development goals. Based on the brief introduction of low-carbon logistics technology, this paper analyzes the main obstacles of the application of the technology, and proposes corresponding incentive mechanism according to the obstacle factors, aiming at alleviating the resistance in the practical application of low-carbon logistics technology and promoting the realization of low-carbon logistics development.展开更多
