SUMMARYNow, with the development of modern business, the traditional competition between enterprises has been displaced by the competition between supply chains. Any incorrect decision from supply chain member may have negative influences on other members or the whole supply chain. Therefore, choosing the appropriate supply chain partners is quite necessary and significant to the supply chain performance improvement because the partners can share risks and benefits with proper contract. Concentrating on the agricultural products supply chain, the supply chain partner selection model and indexes system are put forward in this paper, the clustering and classification analyses of potential supply chain partners are made by data mining technology, and the empirical analysis is made for agricultural products supply chain. This study may provide some insights into supply chain longitudinal governance and guidance for the Chinese agriculture economic development.
