Eating tired summer watermelons, autumn grapes, apples, pears, oranges, pomegranates, fresh dates began to take turns, these fruits from the tree to the red star market, after the selection, picking, processing, packaging, cold chain transportation and other links . Fruits and vegetables have the characteristics of short shelf life and easy deterioration. Whether it is through fresh e-commerce channels or traditional markets or supermarkets, the speed of cold chain transportation always determines the freshness of agricultural products to consumers.
The refrigerated transportation abroad has risen in the first half of the 19th century. It has a history of more than 150 years. The gap in development time determines that China's cold chain logistics is only in its infancy, regardless of the refrigeration rate or management level. It has always fallen far behind developed countries. From an optimistic point of view, this also reflects that China still has a lot of space in the development of cold chain logistics, especially relying on the demand of agricultural products cold chain logistics itself.
China's modern cold chain logistics system is still not perfect
The cold chain logistics of agricultural products in developed countries started in the 1930s. After more than 70 years of development, it has formed the information technology as the core, with storage technology, transportation technology, distribution technology, automated warehousing technology, inventory control technology and other professional technologies. A modernized cold chain logistics system supported by the company.
China is a large agricultural country with a large population. Benefiting from the rapid growth of demand for agricultural products by the people, cold chain logistics enterprises are constantly emerging. The low-energy, low-cost cold chain processing technology that adapts to China's national conditions is widely promoted, and it is further networked. Standardization, scale, and group development.
However, while achieving rapid development, there have also been some negative problems. The data shows that about 12 million tons of fruit and 130 million tons of vegetables are wasted every year due to cold chain problems in China, with a total value of about 10 billion US dollars, which is enough to meet the demand for hundreds of millions of people. It can be seen that China's modern cold chain logistics system is far from perfect, and the specific performance is far from the developed countries in terms of cold chain application rate, proportion of refrigerated and insulated vehicles, and per capita cold storage capacity.
Cold chain logistics of agricultural products is the focus of future development
Agriculture is the basic industry in the process of national economic development. The production, distribution, exchange, circulation and consumption of agricultural products together constitute the organic chain of agricultural reproduction. The lack or unsatisfactory of any link will affect the healthy development of agriculture.
In recent years, with the further improvement of China's socialist market economic system and the continuous advancement of science and technology, the agriculture and rural economy have made great progress, and the era of full shortage of agricultural products has ended, and people no longer have to worry about not eating. However, due to the information asymmetry of regional agricultural products in various regions of the country, and the lack of planning and targeting of production and cultivation, there has been a structural oversupply of agricultural products, and even some media have exposed farmers to work hard because they cannot sell or sell channels. The news that the fruit is rotten in the field and dumped.
