Symbiotic Development System of Reverse Logistics and Forward Logistics in Rural Guangxi Based on Blockchain under the Background of Rural Revitalization

Abstract

The rural revitalization strategy in Guangxi, China, underscores the significance of a robust rural logistics system for economic growth and agricultural product competitiveness. This paper addresses the critical issue of uneven benefit distribution within the integrated reverse and forward logistics system in rural Guangxi. It explores the transformative potential of blockchain technology in rectifying these disparities and enhancing overall logistics efficiency. By leveraging blockchain's distributed ledger and smart contract capabilities, the research proposes a transparent and automated logistics ecosystem that fosters trust and efficiency. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology further optimizes the logistics process through real-time data collection and monitoring. The study's findings indicate that blockchain technology significantly improves logistics timeliness, with the on-time order completion rate increasing from 90.74% to 96.47%. Moreover, the application of blockchain technology is evaluated using the Shapley value method, demonstrating its efficacy in promoting equitable benefit distribution among stakeholders. This paper contributes to the discourse on rural development by highlighting the socio-economic benefits of blockchain technology in enhancing rural logistics and supporting the broader goals of rural revitalization.
