Research on the Measurement and Network Construction of Agricultural Product Logistics Level in Thailand

With the rapid development of the Thai economy and the continuous improvement of national living standards, the Thai people’s demand for freshness, quality, and diversity of agricultural products is constantly increasing. Efficient agricultural product logistics can not only ensure the supply and quality of agricultural products, but also promote the optimization of resource allocation and logistics infrastructure construction, with direct implications for reducing food loss, lowering energy consumption, and enhancing the resilience of regional food systems—key dimensions of sustainable agricultural development. In order to analyze the development status of agricultural product logistics in Thailand, the paper constructed an evaluation system consisting of four dimensions and seven indicators. Factor analysis and natural break point method were used to measure the development level of agricultural product logistics in 77 provinces of Thailand from 2012 to 2023, and the spatial pattern evolution characteristics were analyzed. The research conclusion is as follows: (1) From 2012 to 2023, the comprehensive score of agricultural product logistics in Thailand increased from 24.01 to 30.89, indicating a significant enhancement in overall strength; (2) the logistics level of agricultural products in various provinces of Thailand shows heterogeneous characteristics; (3) by calculating the strength of agricultural product logistics attraction between cities, the Central Plains Agricultural Product Logistics Circle centered on Bangkok, the Northern Plains Agricultural Product Logistics Circle centered on Chiang Mai Province, and the Southern Logistics Circle centered on Pattani and Yala provinces were determined.
