Abstract
As a large agricultural country, China regards agriculture as the basic industry of national economy, which plays a vital role in the development of the national economy. But there is a poor circulation of agricultural products, distribution center set unreasonable causes of high logistics costs. This paper introduces the related concepts of agricultural products logistics distribution center location, and describes several commonly used methods of logistics distribution center location. On the basis of these theories, the paper establishes the gravity method and AHP model. The gravity method is simple and convenient, which is the most commonly used method; AHP is qualitative and quantitative, increasing the effectiveness of decision-making. Finally, taking Zhengzhou as an example, by using two methods, namely the gravity method and AHP, this paper compares the selected Zhengzhou agricultural products logistics distribution center location, and sums up the results of the two methods to get the final result.
