The "present situation" and "future" of cold chain logistics

[2011-11-19]

With China's economic development level, people on food quality and food safety has become increasingly concerned about the protection of perishable food quality has become the basic needs of modern social life, cold storage building at all levels of government departments and the development of more cold chain logistics and more attention to China's low-temperature storage and cold storage industry, that industry in recent years has also been a rapid development. But compared with developed countries, China's low temperature cold storage industry in the total volume, the level of cold storage and cold storage technology, the way they operate so there are still a considerable gap, yet continue to improve.
The total cold storage capacity of China's 700 million cubic meters, but only meat, fish, frozen storage. And our lack of cold storage logistics equipment, outdated existing facilities, and there are imbalances in the development and distribution. When the lack of raw materials or production of off-season, the cold energy in the idle state. And emphasis on cold meat, fruit and vegetable cold storage building of contempt; attention to city-run cold storage, cold storage building contempt origin processing; emphasis on large-scale cold storage, cold contempt wholesale and retail construction. These are mainly from China's main state-owned industry, refrigerated cold storage, database earlier, most of the period has been used for over 15 years, entered the overhaul period. Now need a large, cold storage in the repair of more than one third of total capacity, up to 200 million tons, much higher than the proportion of 5% of normal maintenance and due to the prevailing conditions, engineering design of low standard cold storage, process not the rationalization, the level of construction and building materials, equipment quality are a lot of problems, the low degree of automation, no longer meet the market economy, the business of warehousing and distribution needs.
China's cold chain system is concerned, largely attributable to the lack of quality equipment. Distribution in the domestic market, refrigerated trucks and rail cars are seriously insufficient to cover this huge market. Meanwhile, the export market in the freezer and the corresponding shortage in the number of carrier vehicles. In addition, compared with other major countries, China's large stock of cold is very low, is totally inadequate to service such a large group of consumers.
As the infrastructure constraints, logistics information management also failed to form integration. To achieve true refrigerated logistics logistics management information can not be separated. As the frozen cargo logistics involved almost from production to sales of the entire life cycle, during which the process involved in the production and circulation departments very much, and therefore must be a professional to create logistics management information system life cycle of food information files, integration of scientific production, distribution, storage and transportation, distribution and other supply chain upstream and downstream information.
The development of cold chain logistics is a systems engineering of advanced facilities and technology is a basic condition of the facilities supporting the convergence of technology, organization and coordination of all aspects of the logistics chain to ensure food constantly, which requires full all levels, all aspects of role with enthusiasm.
