Around 2000, the term cold chain logistics appeared in China and defined it: chilled and frozen foods are always in the prescribed low temperature environment during production, storage, transportation, and sales, to ensure food quality. A systematic project to reduce food losses. The development of the cold chain logistics industry is to firmly establish and implement the development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing, deepen the supply-side structural reform, give full play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation, and take institutional innovation as Power, supported by advanced technology and management tools, with standardized and effective supervision as the guarantee, and strive to build a modern cold chain logistics system that is in line with China's national conditions, “full chain, network, strict standards, traceability, new model, high efficiency”. To meet the needs of household consumption upgrades, to increase farmers' income and to ensure food safety.

The five years of 2012-2017 is the five years of rapid development of the cold chain logistics industry. With the economic and social development of our country and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the demand for cold chain logistics is growing stronger, the market scale is expanding, and the cold chain logistics is gradually getting from B2B. The B2C model evolved into a combination of B2B, B2C and C2C. The responsibility for the people is also increasing. "The matter of benefiting the people, the silk will be prosperous; the matter of the people, the end will go." This is the general secretary mentioned in the "First Batch of the Party's Mass Line Education Practices and the Second Batch of Deployment Conference" a word. In the same way, the fundamental development of cold chain logistics is also people-oriented and people-oriented. Observing the development trend in the past five years, it is found that while the rapid development of fresh electricity e-commerce, cold chain logistics plays a role in promoting the economy, while the responsibility for energy, environment and health is the main factor in the next five years. The problem.
1. Waste of resources: Over-packaging leads to wasting a lot of resources, such as paper, rubber, glass, plastics, etc., using raw materials, from wood, oil, steel, etc. These are the scarce resources of China. If it is used for over-packaging and is not recycled, it will cause a lot of waste.
2. Environmental pollution problems: Consumers abandon a large amount of packaging waste and increase environmental pollution. The cost of over-packaging is considerable, and these over-packages, which consume a lot of resources, are all turned into household waste in the hands of consumers.
3. Food health problems: Nowadays, the “first mile” of agricultural products and the “last mile” of urban distribution are very difficult for many enterprises to achieve the whole process of cold chain. It is easy to cause in the case of not being able to achieve the whole process of cold chain. Food spoilage is also a serious threat to the health of the people.
Cold chain logistics is also important in escorting food health, improving food quality and safety, and promoting consumer consumption upgrades.
