The Coronavirus outbreak has brought a global health emergency with a newfound domestic and international trade disruption such as restrictions on imports and exports of major food commodities, loss of lives, closure of various essential institutions, and the likes. With the spread of COVID-19 around the world, the food and agricultural sector have experienced a negative downturn with an immense labor loss, inadequate distribution of food inputs around the world. Thus, the question arises that to what extent can the food supply chain remain resilient to the effects of the pandemic? And, what are the immediate and lasting resolutions? Importantly, the resilience of the food supply chain is critical to mankind’s survival. In this paper, we highlighted the main challenges faced by the resilience of the global food supply chain. We also present policies and suggestions that focus on mitigating the impact of the pandemic on food production and distribution systems....
This paper uses CiteSpace software to conduct a quantitative analysis of 366 kinds of literature on logistics outsourcing from 2000 to 2019 in the CNKI database, identify the research status and hotspots of logistics outsourcing in China and then summarize the deficiencies and future research directions. The paper identifies the research status of logistics outsourcing in China through the analysis of authors and research institutions. There are many scholars doing research, but the number of published papers is not very high, and the research institutions are mainly colleges and universities. Through literature analysis of co-occurrence keywords simultaneously, identifying the hot topics in the study of China’s logistics outsourcing, logistics outsourcing risk, and cost has always been a burning problem in the survey on logistics outsourcing in China. With the constant rise of the supply chain and the development of logistics, logistics outsourcing decision-making, logistics outsourcing performance, and relationship quality are becoming a research hotspot in logistics outsourcing. We can consider the version of logistics outsourcing, logistics outsourcing based on the supply chain, and logistics outsourcing’s collaborative research in future....
The COVID-19 outbreak has hit the logistics industry like never before. How to effectively cope with the challenges brought by public health emergencies has become an urgent problem for major logistics enterprises. As a labor- intensive industry, the human resource management of logistics enterprises has become an essential and important part of their operation and management process, which is directly related to the healthy, sustainable and stable development of logistics enterprises and the maximization of social and economic benefits at the lowest cost. Therefore, logistics enterprises must establish advanced concepts of human resource management and take reasonable and effective measures in combination with their own problems in this outbreak, so as to enhance their core competitiveness....
As the basic necessity of national life, agricultural products have become the basic elements of economic and social development. Because of the complexity and uncertainty of the internal and external environment, the supply chain of agricultural products has various risks, such as vulnerability and instability in the system structure. This paper analyzes the common structural model and risk factors of agricultural product supply chain, discusses the main factors of agricultural product supply chain risk factors, and combines the characteristics of decentralization and information encryption of block chain technology with the governance of each node of agricultural product supply chain. This paper puts forward the optimal analysis of agricultural product supply chain model construction and related node risk management under block chain technology....
This paper explores the interaction between Chinese electronic firms’ total factor productivity (TFP) and their export strategies, revealing there is a causal relationship between exporting and productivity growth. Based on the data of Chinese electronics firms in the period from 2005 to 2007, TFPs are estimated by a productivity estimator following Levinsohn-Petrin method. With propensity score matching, significant evidence which shows the mutual causal effect of firms’ export activities and TFP growth can be found, supporting the trade models with firm heterogeneity by Chinese case....
