2.1GreatlossesofagriculturalproductsThetraditionalop-erationsystemrouteofagriculturalproductlogisticsisproducers→transportation→handling→storage→packaging→distribution→consumers.Thepackaginginthisrouteisaftertransportation.Theadvantageofthisapproachisthatthepackaginglinkisclosetoconsumers,andtheagriculturalproductscanbeprocessedandpackagedaccordingtothedemandandwishesofconsumers.How-ever,thedisadvantageofthismodeisthatduetothecompleteroomtemperaturelogisticsornaturallogistics,theagriculturalproducts,withoutbeingprocessedwithpackaging,preservation

2.2Poorruralroadconditionsandinsufficientspecialvehi-clesThecountryhascarriedoutaprojecttomakeeveryvillagehavearoad,toensurethattheagriculturalproductscanbetrans-portedtotheneighboringcities.However,insomeruralareas,theroadconditionsareverybad,sothereisanurgentneedtoim-provethetransportmeansofagriculturalproducts.Inruralareas,thepickuptruckismainlyusedastransporttoolofagriculturalproducts,andsealedvansarerare.Thecoldstoragevehiclewithrefrigerationmachineryandinsulatedcabinetisevenrare.Ac-cordingtostatistics,theroadrefrigeratedtransportamountofper-ishablefoodonlyaccountsfor20%oftotaltransportamountinChina,andtheremaining80%offruits,vegetables,poultryandaquaticproductsaretransportedbyordinaryconvertibletruck.Indevelopedcountries,coldstoragetransportamountaccountsformorethan90%oftotalfoodtransportamount.

3Recommendations
3.1Establishingtheprocessing,preservation,coldstorageandpackagingbaseofagriculturalproductsnearproductionbaseItisnecessarytochangetheorderoftraditionalagriculturalproductlogisticsoperationsystem,andadoptthemodeofproduc-ers—processing,preservation,coldstorageandpackaging—logis-ticsinformationsystemprocessing—distribution—consumers,thatis,fromproducers,theagriculturalproductsgothroughprocess-ing,preservation,coldstorageandpackaging,thenlogisticsinfor-mationprocessing,andfinallyaredeliveredtoconsumers.Basedonthebiologicalcharacteristicsoffreshagriculturalproducts,wecanestablishlarge-scalefreshagriculturalproductprocessing,

3.2Improvingtheconstructionofagriculturalproductlo-gisticsinfrastructureFirstly,itisnecessarytoincreasegovern-mentinvestmentwhileencouragingindividuals,groups,andfor-eignmerchantstoinvestinagriculturalproductdistributionfacilityconstruction.Intheagriculturalproductionareasofgrain,vegeta-bles,fruits,eggs,aquaticproducts,flowersandspeciallocalproducts,itisnecessarytofocusonbuildinganumberofagricul-turalwholesalemarketswithstrongdistributionfunction;activelydevelopchainstores,directmarketingandothernewdistributionorganizations;acceleratetheestablishmentofagriculturallogisticsservicesystemcoveringagriculturalproductstorage,processing,transportationanddistribution;speedupthedevelopmentandpro-ductionofagriculturalstorageandtransportationtoolsandequip-ments;strengthentransportationconstruction,andconstantlyim-provetransportnetwork,toimproveaccessibilityoftheroadnet-work.
3.3Speedinguptheagriculturalproductlogisticsinforma-tion-basedconstructionFirstly,
itisnecessarytogivefullplaytotheroleofagriculturaldistributionorganizationsininformationcollection,transmissionandfeedback,andmakefulluseofalltypesofagriculturalproductcirculationinformation;promotetheupgradingofruralindustrialstructure,andvigorouslydevelopin-formationintermediaryorganizations,informationconsultingfirms
