Abstract

The cost savings in the internet world will contribute to the growth of outward direct investment (ODI) of bulk commodities. According to the AHP model, this paper took agricultural products as an example, and conducted an empirical study on industrial selection for China´s ODI of bulk commodities with combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Studies have shown that the ODI indexes of cotton industry, soybean industry and oil industry are the highest among agricultural industries and even much higher than others. So these three industries should be the leading industries of ODI in the future in order to stimulate rational ODI development of whole agricultural products.
