Abstract: How to reshape the cross-border agricultural supply chain is a common concern in the global agricultural field. Using the bibliometrics method, 761 studies in the literature were selected from the core database of WOS (Web of Science) to explore research hotspots and development trends in this field, clarify the historical context, and explore future trends. Using the knowledge map visualization software CiteSpace, an in-depth review and visualization analysis of hot topics in this field were conducted. The results showed that since 2017, research in this field has shown a strong development trend. The United States and the University of Wageningen are the field’s most influential country and research institution, respectively. Sustainability is the journal with the highest number of publications in the field. Research hotspots included cross-border agricultural product safety, cross-border agricultural supply chain systematization, and technology integration, and gradually evolved towards the high-quality development of digital intelligence with informatization, digitization, and big data as the main focus. The sustainability of cross-border agricultural supply chains and the resilience of the global food supply system have become the main lines of research in this field.
