ABSTRACT: This paper uses three-stage DEA and Malmquist model to evaluate and analyze the logistics efficiency of agricultural products in China statically and dynamically from the time trend and regional differences. The results show that at the present stage, the logistics efficiency of agricultural products in China is mainly restricted by the efficiency of scale; environmental variables play a different role in promoting the logistics efficiency of agricultural products; from a static point of view, the logistics efficiency of agricultural products in 31 provinces and cities in China is generally low and there is obvious regional differentiation. From the perspective of spatial distribution, the logistics efficiency of agricultural products in China generally shows the distribution characteristics of low in the east and high in the middle; from a dynamic point of view, the logistics efficiency of agricultural products in China shows an overall upward trend, and technological progress promotes the development of total factor productivity of agricultural logistics. On this basis, combined with the current actual situation of the development of agricultural product logistics in China, this paper puts forward relevant suggestions to further improve the efficiency of agricultural product logistics in China.
