- Abstract
Shandong Province has evolved into a prominent production hub for fresh agricultural products, largely due to its distinctive geographical attributes and climatic conditions. The study of the cold chain logistics efficiency of fresh agricultural products in Shandong Province has the potential to facilitate the expansion of the market for agricultural products, increase farmers’ income, drive the development of related industries, and contribute to the revitalisation of the countryside. The DEA model and Malmquist index were employed to analyse the static and dynamic changes in the cold chain logistics of fresh agricultural products in Shandong Province. The data for the period 2019–2023 was analysed and compared with the national data set. The study reveals that, when analysed from a static perspective, the cold chain logistics efficiency of Shandong Province is generally lower than the national level. This is mainly due to a lower pure technical efficiency, although the province outperforms the nation in terms of scale efficiency. The improvement of fresh agricultural products’ cold chain logistics efficiency in Shandong province is more stable in terms of dynamic changes. It is therefore recommended that the province should proactively promote technological innovation and application, reinforce personnel training, optimise cold chain logistics infrastructure and enhance scale operations.
