Abstract

This study aims to investigate the distribution characteristics of China's agricultural industry and its logistics network design. The study is based on the theory and method of hub-and-spoke logistics network design, takes the logistics of agricultural products in China as the research area, and focuses on the fresh fruit industry. The specific case study took the fruit industry in Guangxi Province as an object and analyzed the overall spatial distribution from 2014 to 2022. By considering the factors of economic development, logistics development and fruit industry development, 11 indicators were selected to construct a comprehensive evaluation index system of logistics-level node cities within the logistics network. This index system aims to provide a holistic assessment of the logistics capabilities of these cities. The hub cities and spoke cities of the fresh fruit industry logistics network were determined by cluster analysis based on factor analysis. The cities are identified using the gravitational model and the logistics affiliation degree. As a result, a hub-and-spoke logistics network for the fresh fruit industry is centered on Nanning, Liuzhou and Guilin, which are designated as the key hub cities. Yulin, Qinzhou, Guigang and Baise are the secondary spoke nodes, while Beihai, Wuzhou, Chongzuo, Fangchenggang, Hezhou, Laibin and Hechi are the tertiary and quaternary spoke nodes. In order to better develop the fresh fruit industry in Guangxi, proposals are made to guide the layout of the fruit industry, improve the logistics infrastructure in the node cities, and ensure the quality of fruit transportation.
