Purpose -There is a recent growing interest to find a lasting intervention to rural poverty (RP) in developing countries based on farmer entrepreneurship and innovation. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to examine the relation between entrepreneurship and RP alleviation in two resource-constrained provinces of China. This paper assesses the influence of three capabilities of farm entrepreneurseducational, economic and socio-culturalon farmer entrepreneurship growth and how these, in turn, impact alleviation of RP. Design/methodology/approach -Household survey data comprising 363 respondents were taken from four deprived communities in two provinces of China. The paper employed structural equation modeling (SEM), using AMOS 21.0 alongside SPSS 20.0 to test the relations between the constructs. Findings -The results show that a statistically significant and positive relation exists between entrepreneurship and RP alleviation in China. The findings of the study further reveal that qualitative growth of entrepreneurship has a stronger positive influence on RP alleviation than on quantitative growth, and socio-cultural capabilities of respondents significantly and positively affect entrepreneurial growth of farmers, rather than education and economic capabilities.Research limitations/implications -The use of data from four communities in two provinces tends to limit the ability to generalize the findings of the study. Furthermore, the survey did not collect information on non-farm entrepreneurs, making it impossible to compare the findings from farm entrepreneurs with non-farm entrepreneurs. Practical implications -The findings have practical implications for policy makers in rural China toward addressing targeted RP. This paper, therefore, suggests that entrepreneurship should be pursued vigorously among farmers in rural areas of China to help solve poverty. The paper also presents a useful lesson for various stakeholders in poverty alleviation programs in other developing countries. Originality/value -This paper contributes to the academic literature on the entrepreneurship-RP alleviation nexus by combining the theory of capability and SEM in the analysis of an emerging economy such as China.

The port logistics' development is deserved more and more attention, in order to enhance the competence of the port, we need to evaluate the function of the port logistics and construct the evaluation model.The AHP-FCE method was used which combines methods of the Analytic Hierarchy Process and the Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation, Firstly we determine the weight of every index of the model, and evaluate the port logistics' function, than using the empircial research to verify the correctness of the evaluation model. The results of the empricial research show that the model can evaluate the function of the port logitics, and the calculation is simple, it has some practicablicity.
