Research on the High-Quality Development Path of the Cross-Border Agricultural Product Supply Chain between China and Central Asia

Abstract

As a bridge and link between China and Central Asian countries, logistics infrastructure plays an important role in the process of forming a new development pattern of “dual circulation” and mutual promotion. Based on the panel data of Central Asian countries from 2010 to 2019, this paper uses random effect model to analyze the impact on the cross-border agricultural product supply chain between China and Central Asian countries. The results show that the logistics development level, railway transport connectivity, road transport connectivity, economic development level, market size, and common border of Central Asian countries positively affect the development level of the supply chain at different significance levels. Among them, the degree of railway transport connectivity has the greatest impact on the supply chain, followed by the common border, and then the level of logistics development. Moreover, the geographical advantage cannot be underestimated and it plays a positive role in promoting the high-quality development of cross-border agricultural product supply chain. China borders Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, and the agricultural product import and export trade quota is significantly greater than that of other Central Asian countries. Based on the analysis, we propose to strengthen efforts to build a high-quality logistics system, build an efficient land transport network, and break through cross-border logistics congestion and difficulties.

Research on the Influencing Factors of Sustainable Supply Chain Development of Agri-Food Products Based on Cross-Border Live-Streaming E-Commerce in China

“…Therefore, based on the analysis and comparison of relevant literature on agricultural product supply chains [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ], cross-border agricultural product supply chains [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ], and sustainable agricultural product supply chains [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ], this study attempts to define the connotations and characteristics of the concept of sustainable supply chains for cross-border agricultural products in the context of live streaming. The specific summary process is presented in Table 1 .…”

“…Based on these three concepts, combined with the emerging model of live-streaming e-commerce, the sustainable supply chain for cross-border agricultural products in the context of live streaming has emerged, as shown in Figure 1. Therefore, based on the analysis and comparison of relevant literature on agricultural product supply chains [11][12][13][14][15][16], cross-border agricultural product supply chains [17][18][19][20][21][22], and sustainable agricultural product supply chains [23][24][25][26][27][28][29], this study attempts to define the connotations and characteristics of the concept of sustainable supply chains for crossborder agricultural products in the context of live streaming. The specific summary process is presented in Table 1.…”

“…According to related studies, domestic and international scholars have mostly focused on traditional agricultural supply chains, including agricultural supply chains [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ], cross-border agricultural supply chains [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ], and sustainable agricultural supply chains [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ]. However, the definition and scope of the emerging supply chain model of cross-border sustainable supply chains in the context of live-streaming e-commerce have not yet been defined.…”

Exploring Sustainable Development Pathways for Agri-Food Supply Chains Empowered by Cross-Border E-Commerce Platforms: A Hybrid Grounded Theory and DEMATEL-ISM-MICMAC Approach

“…Building upon the existing literature on cross-border agri-food supply chains [37][38][39][40] and sustainable agri-food supply chains [41][42][43][44][45], this study aims to define and characterize the sustainability of cross-border e-commerce platform-driven agri-food supply chains from both theoretical and practical perspectives.…”

A Visual Knowledge Map Analysis of Cross-Border Agri-Food Supply Chain Research Based on CiteSpace

“…How to jointly rebuild and innovate cross-border agricultural supply chains is a topic of common concern in the current global agricultural field [15]. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively, and systematically analyze and present the research hotspots and development context of the cross-border agricultural supply chain, provide new ideas and directions for relevant research in the field, enrich the relevant theories of cross-border agricultural supply chain, and guide the development and cooperation of cross-border supply chain among countries in the world [16]. This will provide a reference and inspiration for solving the world's food shortages [17,18].…”
