Abstract: In recent years, scholars in the field of management have shown a growing tendency to pay attention to the issues of cross-border e-commerce. However, many of the contributions devoted to this topic are purely theoretical advances, lacking contributions that augment the core concept of e-commerce development through observable real phenomena in the society. Through a multi-case study approach, this study explores the different types of agricultural small-and-medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in the cross-border e-commerce based on the practical background of entry mode of foreign markets. Research results found that cluster collaborations allow agricultural SMEs to learn from one another. A single agricultural SME may guidance from experienced SMEs can help with a bold first step towards the target market. When agricultural SMEs engage in cross-border e-commerce, their products, brands, and channels form the golden triangle of cross-border e-commerce and influence one another. In addition, agricultural SMEs expand overseas markets with three brand strategies: cobrands strategy, line extensions strategy, and brand extensions strategy.
