“…The information system plays a significant role in the success of product distribution within the rural logistics scope, which has been applied in cross-border e-commerce development. China has also built an e-commerce business that considers multi objective mixed-integer linear programming models for rural logistics networks from farmers to markets and the flow of recycling products (Zhuang, Zhao, & Zhang, 2016), and designed a reverse logistics network of rural e-commerce in Anhui Province (Cao, Guo & Liang, 2017). An integrated urban and rural logistics information platform was also developed (Yiming & Jia, 2016).…”

“…This model aims to reduce the logistics return rate and waste of resources based on e-commerce (Qiao, Wang, Meng, Yu, Li, Xu et al, 2019). A model was also developed to minimize costs and vehicle travel time in the agribusiness supply chain type forward-reverse logistics network based on rural e-commerce (Zhuang et al, 2016) and maximize customer satisfaction in the reverse supply chain for online products (Cao et al, 2017). The development of rural logistics used a crowdsourcing approach that combines three nodes of the county and village in China and an integration platform of e-commerce by analyzing the construction of the current logistics network, road construction, and information platform (Zhai, Gao, Xiao, Zhao & Sun, 2018).…”

Purpose: The role of speculators in distributing products across rural areas is increasing the poverty rate in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to develop a conceptual framework of the rural logistics system model to influence the welfare and sustainability of farmers.Design/methodology/approach: Conceptual framework was used to evaluate logistics and supply chain networks. The method consists of developing stages based on four components, namely network structure, management, resources, and business processes. Furthermore, it also proposed the management function of the rural logistics system models.Findings: The model of a rural logistics system obtained in this study consists of 1) a trade related to the network of business, 2) a freight, related to the flow of goods, and 3) management functions related to crucial activities in rural logistics management.Research limitations/implications: This model is conceptual, therefore, future studies must accommodate optimizing models to predict the performance of rural logistics systems when they are applied in Indonesia.Practical implications: This study promotes the actors in intermediaries of the rural logistics system to synergize the distribution of goods effectively and efficiently. It also reduces the role of speculators in product distribution in form of availability and price in rural areas.Social implications: This model is a strategy to achieve the Rural Sustainable development Goals (Rural-SDGs) agenda and complements the Blueprint of The National Logistics System.Originality/value: There are fewer studies in rural logistics compared to other fields such as agricultural logistics, food logistics, disaster logistics, etc. Therefore, this study organizes the actors in the rural logistics network and plans management functions for the efficient distribution of products across Indonesia. It also raises the awareness of logistics management to improve the welfare of rural communities.
