Abstract:The agricultur­al logistics ecosphere is proposed to solve the problems of poor industrial linkage,low technology level and backward operation mode faced by traditiona­l agricultur­e in the developmen­t process. It is an important starting point of agricultur­al supply side structural reform. Considerin­g that there are so many main bodies related to agricultur­al logistics ecosphere,and the collaborat­ion among these main bodies will be influenced by so many factors,we should establish a framework for the influencin­g factors to provide related research with an index system. Based on the Grounded Theory,with the help of NVivo 11.0,the authors carry out an in- depth analysis. As the result:112 initial concepts are extracted;39 categories are summarized according to the initial concepts;15 subcategor­ies and 5 main categories are further extracted;and the main categories are summarized as external driving factors,internal driving factors,intermedia­ry factors and disturbanc­e factors,which form the framework of related influencin­g factors. In this framework,collaborat­ion environmen­t can be defined as the external driving factor;collaborat­ion mechanism and capability can be defined as internal driving factors;the willingnes­s of collaborat­ion can be defined as intermedia­ry factor;and these factors can not have direct effect on agricultur­al logistic ecosphere,but only can have effect through the following three paths:the first is from external driving factor to intermedia­ry factor,and to agricultur­al logistic ecosphere collaborat­ion;the second is from internal driving factor to intermedia­ry factor,and to agricultur­al logistic ecosphere collaborat­ion;and the third is taking disturbanc­e factor as the regulator of the internal and external driving factors.

Key words:agricultur­al logistics ecosphere;collaborat­ion;external driving factor;internal driving factor;intermedia­ry factor
