Abstract

It is one of the core agricultural logistics cost control to establish a reasonable and effective evaluation system of agricultural logistics cost control. In this study, based on the cost basis of the value chain, an agricultural logistics cost control evaluation system is established from three levels, including the logistics costs of agricultural pre-value chain, logistics costs of agricultural mid-value chain, logistics costs of agricultural late-value chain. AHP theory and expert investigation are used to determine weights and weights of the three levels of integrated sub-level indicators, which are as evaluation criteria to achieve quantified indicators. Finally, the index system established and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation are used to evaluate the logistics costs of a real agricultural logistics enterprise, demonstrating that the evaluation method is effective.

Keywords:

Agricultural product, analytic hierarchy process, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, logistics cost,
