Analysis of the Factors Affecting the Logistics Efficiency of Urban Farm Products in the Context of Low-carbon Economy

Abstract

The refrigeration equipment used to preserve the freshness of farm products in the farm logistics process generates carbon emissions, so the factors affecting the logistics efficiency need to be analyzed to make it sustainable in the context of low-carbon economy. This paper briefly introduced the calculation method of farm product logistics efficiency in the context of low-carbon economy and analyzed the farm product logistics industry in Jiangsu Province from 2011 to 2020. The results suggested that the input-output efficiency of the farm product logistics industry in Jiangsu was relatively high at the level of logistics technology in the context of low-carbon economy, but there was still room for improvement in the expansion scale; the economic level, industrial agglomeration, and industrial structure had a significant positive effect on the efficiency of farm product logistics, and the environmental constraints had a significant inhibitory effect on the efficiency of farm product logistics. Finally, several suggestions were put forward according to the analysis results.
