At present, there are five major problems in the development of China's agricultural product wholesale market: the lack of unified planning and multi-headed management.

The first is the lack of national unified planning. At present, there is no national plan for the development of agricultural wholesale markets in China. On the whole, the layout of China's wholesale market is not entirely reasonable. The repeated market construction in some areas, severe vicious competition, and the shortage of outlets in some regions, and the phenomenon of “without market” are coexisting.

The second is that there are many industry competent authorities, leading to long-term management. At present, all ministries and commissions of the country have paid more attention to the development of agricultural product wholesale markets, and introduced various policies to support the construction of wholesale markets for agricultural products. However, there are many management departments, and there is a gap between the management of various departments and blank points at the same time.

The third is the lack of access and withdrawal mechanisms. Due to the lack of access and withdrawal mechanism for wholesale markets for agricultural products, the vicious competition in China's agricultural product wholesale market has caused frequent economic losses not only for the two sides of the competition, but also adversely affected the stable supply of agricultural products, and affected the distribution of upstream and downstream agricultural products from the market. Business, consumers, producers and other aspects. At the same time, it also brought about a great waste of land resources. Some real estate developers relied on the name of the construction market to operate for a few years or even not operate at all.

Fourth, the status of public welfare has not been fully reflected, and the actual market operation burden is heavy. At present, China's agricultural product market is dominated by private investment. Although in recent years, the state and some local governments have stepped up their support, introduced relevant policies, and actively invested in supporting funds to promote the upgrading of agricultural product wholesale markets, it is still not enough.

Fifth, the trading facilities and trading instruments are behind and the market function is not perfect. The trading facilities of many agricultural product markets in China are simple, the trading methods are backward, and the management level is low. It is difficult to give full play to basic market functions such as product distribution, price formation, information transmission, and security protection, but it only bears the function of trading venues.

According to a survey of the National Federation of Urban Farmers' Centers, the proportion of Chinese agricultural products flowing through the wholesale market exceeds 70%, and in some large and medium-sized cities, this proportion exceeds 80%. As the main channel for the circulation of agricultural products, agricultural product wholesale markets play an important role in ensuring urban supply and solving the “selling difficulties” of agricultural products.
