The Sustainable Development of Forest Food Value Chain
⑴Background——Since the"13th Five-Year Plan"proposed a total ban on commercial logging of natural forests,the forestry industry has actively promoted supply-side structural reforms aimed at adapting to the new nor-mal of economic development,and vigorously developed emerging forestry industries represented by the forest food industry.At present,China's forest food has become the third largest agricultural products after grains and vegeta-bles.The forest food market has a huge development space with the improvement of consumers'health awareness and the increasing demand for natural products.It is of great practical significance to discuss the key links and sus-tainable development strategies of forest food value chain.⑵Methods——The research objects of this paper are China Jilin Forest Industry Group Co.,LTD,Jilin Changbai Mountain Forest Industry Group Co.,LTD,China Longjiang Forest Industry Group Co.,LTD,Daxing'anling Forestry Group Company and Heilongjiang Yichun Forest Industry Group Co.,LTD,whose forest food output accounts for more than 98%of China's state-owned forest areas.Based on the data of five enterprises from 2019 to 2022,partial least squares structural equation model(PLS-SEM)was used to explore the input-out-put relationship and its influencing factors in forest food industry.The model defined input variables as the inde-pendent variables and output variables as the dependent variables to explore the mediating role of integrity and ag-glomeration effects.Empirical analysis was used to reveal the impact of major input factors on the industrial output and to evaluate the mechanism of integrity and agglomeration effects.External variables such as technological inno-vation and policy supports were included in the model to analyze its impact paths on industrial output.⑶Results——The structural integrity and industrial agglomeration effects of forest food value chain have a significant impact on the output efficiency and market competitiveness.The input and output of forest food value chain are positively correlated,the integrity of forest food value chain is positively correlated with the output of for-est food,while the agglomeration degree of forest food value chain is negatively correlated with the output of forest food.The input of forest food value chain is positively correlated with the structural integrity and the agglomeration degree.⑷Conclusions and Discussions——Paths selection of sustainable development of forest food value chain:First,increase the input of effective value chain resources,including scientific and technological innovation,hu-man resources training,capital equipment and other aspects of investment.Second,optimize the value chain struc-ture and strengthen the integrity of the value chain.Identify critical links that are more costly,less efficient or more risky,regularly evaluate and improve operational processes,and strengthen upstream and downstream links and collaboration.Third,balance the positive and negative effects of value chain agglomeration and strengthen collabo-rative agglomeration.Promote the agglomeration and collaboration between internal and external enterprises in the industry through policy guidance and regional planning,and guides multiple subjects and multi-party resources to gather in the field of basic research.Fourth,maintain continuous policy support and market optimization,including financial support,the improvement of laws and regulations,the development of innovative technologies and market access regulations.
