Research on the spatial-temporal evolution and influencing factors of the development level of E-commerce live broadcast of fresh agricultural products in China:Take Tiktok as an example
The live broadcast of fresh agricultural product E-commerce is a crucial measure for promoting the upward mobility of agricultural products and increasing farmers'incomes.This paper selects TikTok,a typical platform for the E-commerce live broadcast of fresh agricultural products,as the research subject.It employs data mining techniques to collect online transaction data of live broadcasts from April 2022 to March 2023,assessing the development level of such broadcasts across various provinces,regions,and cities nationwide.The paper analyses regional differences and spatial distribution characteristics using the Theil and Moran indices.Additionally,it constructs a regression model to explore factors influencing the sales of E-commerce live broadcasts.The results indicate that annual sales are lowest in April and peak in December.The eastern region generally exhibits a higher level of development in E-commerce live broadcasting,yet overall disparities across the country are minimal,predominantly stemming from intra-regional differences,especially in the western region,where these contribute most significantly.Currently,the development of E-commerce live broadcasting displays negative spatial correlation without significant spatial clustering.Furthermore,factors such as the number of anchor fans,audience likes,product counts,and broadcast duration significantly positively impact sales,whereas audience retention time shows an inverse U-shaped relationship with sales.These findings offer empirical evidence for advancing live broadcasts in agricultural product E-commerce and provide theoretical support for devising regional development strategies.
