Abstract
The outbreak of COVID-19 has been spreading around the world since 2020. During the period of the national fight against the epidemic, measures including traffic control or fight against the epidemic by staying at home have been implemented nationwide to varying degrees, which has greatly affected the supply of agricultural products closely related to the Non-Staple Food Project for people. Accordingly, it is of great significance to formulate an effective and reasonable ordering strategy, for the sake of ensuring the sustained supply of the non-staple food during the period of home quarantine and facilitating the maximum benefits of the e-commerce platforms while guaranteeing the freshness of agricultural products as much as possible. On the strength of the present research on the ordering strategy of agricultural products on e-commerce platforms, this paper has innovated the ordering strategy of agricultural products in case of COVID-19 by applying the Newsboy Model while taking the maximization of the expected profit as the goal. The specific research content consists of the following two parts.
