Abstract
China's agricultural supply chain has many constraints which restrict the rapid development of the rural economy and the international competitiveness of agricultural products factors. This paper analyzed the biochemical characteristics of the green agricultural products, the loss in the logistics process and the storage life. Considering the amount of loss in the agricultural logistics process as well as the agricultural products transport time, the green agricultural supply chain logistics network optimization model was constructed based on the arrival time to determine the number of nodes and locations of various logistics. After that, a reasonable distribution of material flow path was constituted to minimum the total cost of the supply chain. Its solution is proposed in this paper.
