Abstract: This research starts from understanding the demand for agricultural logistics centres of the relevant agricultural entities to define such demand. Moreover, this study aims to employ scientific management methods to determine the appropriate number of regional agricultural logistics centres required to be established, as well as the classification of and cooperation modes for these logistics centres. We also introduce the concept of modern logistics and employ the mathematical planning result as a feasible major direction for adoption and integration into the current logistics system based on the current conditions of specific manufacturers. Furthermore, we recommend the coaching model in discussing the plan of establishing logistics centre systems in agricultural production areas from a realistic perspective.

Keywords: distribution system; logistics centres; agricultural products; modern logistics; mathematical planning.
