Abstract

Taking the perspective of rural revitalization, this study constructs an index system for the development level of rural logistics. Based on data from the year 2021, the entropy method is employed to calculate scores for each index, thus providing a comprehensive evaluation of the current status of rural logistics development in China. The results indicate that the overall level of rural logistics development in China is on an upward trend with robust developmental momentum. However, challenges such as supply and demand imbalances, unfavorable conditions, slowing speed, and inappropriate structure exist. The spatial layout of rural logistics development exhibits a decreasing trend from the southeast coastal areas to the central, northern, and western regions. It is suggested that enhancing rural economic levels, improving rural infrastructure, addressing imbalances in rural logistics supply and demand, and promoting rural informatization are the main strategies for developing rural logistics in China.
