This study aims to investigate the influence factors on the distribution efficiency of agricultural products.
Distribution efficiency of agricultural product directly reflects the efficiency of agricultural distribution system. The
output and cost in the process of agricultural distribution can be accessed by distribution efficiency. Much work has
been done to measured distribution efficiency by single indicator but little work has been done to investigate the
multiply indicators and their impacts on the distribution efficiency of agricultural products. Hence, for the first time,
the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been used to assess the influence of multiply indicators on the
distribution efficiency of agricultural products. A case study using the historical data has been carried out. The
empirical analysis results show that the level of informatization and logistics infrastructure greatly influence the
distribution efficiency of agricultural products while the Logistics transportation and the professional level of labors
do not promote the efficiency of agricultural distribution system. Hence, useful suggestions could be proposed to
provide theoretical reference for the construction of robust and efficient agricultural distribution system.
Key words: Agricultural products, data envelopment analysis, distribution efficiency, influence analysis, , ,
