Abstract: Due to a lack of profound disclosure of the internal mechanism for the symbiotic development of agricultural industrial clusters and agricultural logistics industry, the current study finds it difficult to form specific and implementable driving countermeasures well. Quantitative research on their symbiotic development and evolution is an important method to promote the further development of agricultural industry and agricultural logistics industry. In this paper, the factors affecting the sustainable symbiotic development relationship are analyzed between agricultural industry clusters and agricultural logistics industry with explanatory structural equation, and a system-driving model is constructed for the symbiotic development of agricultural enterprise clusters and agricultural logistics industry. The analysis indicated that, for the symbiotic development of agricultural enterprise clusters and agricultural logistics industry, the macro policy orientation is the fundamental driving force and the symbiotic development effect is its final result. Seven driving paths are refined, and the relevant countermeasures to promote the sustainable development of agricultural industrial clusters and agricultural logistics industry are put forward one at a time.
