Abstract:

【Objective】To calculate the coordination development degree between agriculture and logistics industry in five northwest provinces（regions），analyze the influencing factors，and to provide references for promoting the coordinated development of the two.【Methods】Based on the relevant data of agriculture and logistics industry in the five northwest provinces（regions） from 2010 to 2020，the coupled coordination degree model was used to estimate the coupled coordination degree between agriculture and logistics industry，and the influencing factors of the coupled coordination degree were analyzed by the grey correlation analysis.【Results】In the past ten years，there had been an upward tendency in the development of agriculture and logistics industry in the five northwest provinces（regions）. The coupled coordination degree gradually transited from reluctant coordination to primary coordination. From regional perspective，Shaanxi was the first to reach coordination state，and progressing from intermediate coordination to good coordination. Xinjiang had gradually developed from reluctant coordination to intermediate coordination. Ningxia was in mild disorder during the study period. Gansu had developed from reluctant coordination to primary coordination. Qinghai was in moderate disorder during the study period. The analysis results of influencing factors revealed that the correlation degree between economic level，circulation level，resource level，policy support and coupled coordination degree was 0.736 0，0.851 0，0.652 5 and 0.748 5，respectively，and were the key factors influencing the coordinated development between agriculture and logistics industry.【Conclusion】The development of agriculture and logistics industry in the five northwest provinces（regions） were generally on the rise. Although there were significant gaps in the provinces（regions） and the development levels were still not high. The coordination between the agriculture and logistics industry in the provinces（regions） were in different degree and in the unstable stage. Circulation level had the most significant correlation with the coupled coordination degree of agriculture and logistics industry in the five northwest provinces（regions）.
