The blue sea is far and far beyond imagination; it is full of unknowns and waves, and, with a little carelessness, it becomes a chilling “dead sea” that destroys ships of navigators. The cold chain industry is the blue sea。
In the view of industry, the cold chain has a wide range of prospects, but it is also a “bones” that are difficult to chew. Zheng chun, director general of the food supply chain markets of jinjiang low temperance logistics development co. Ltd., shanghai, stated that the current share of cold chain operations by electric operators is very small, with low concentration in the domestic cold chain industry and small enterprise size. One important reason for this is that “cool chain management in fresh is a very difficult business module”。
Currently, with the exception of a small number of powerful electricians who build their own cold chain logistics, other electric operators are working with third-party logistics. In general, fresh suppliers now have “five-sided ambushes” to break: high quality requirements, high costs, structural deficiencies in upstream cold storage, “last kilometre” and reverse logistics, and lack of industry standards. Only by cracking this “five-faced ambush” will the fresh-wielding power company truly be able to reach the vast blue sea。
Preserve requirements are harsh/
The internet-buying city, which is the main food-supplied under the fast-moving flag, has made a great deal of effort to test aquatic fresh powerers and has found that the challenge is just beginning。
According to choi xiaoqi, president choon-fung, he currently has a rapid logistics system, such as air charters, and has invested considerable funds in the construction of cold storage, as well as in the procurement of a large number of cooling tanks, freezers, ice boxes, ice bags, and heat kits. Choi xiaoqi stated that fresh product storage is difficult to protect and that, as many of the country's cold banks are currently lagging behind standard, they have chosen to build themselves. At present, three warehouses have been set up in beijing, kashing and guangzhou, each of which is divided into five temperature-controlled areas, including the hot zone at 0°c ~30°c, the cold zone at 0°c ~8°c, the cold zone at 8°c ~10°c, the cold zone at 18°c, the hot and hot zone at 15°c ~18°c, with --60°c refrigerated containers, with temperature-controlled areas spanning 90°c to meet the storage requirements for foods of the whole product class, have developed different standardized storage methods for each commodity。
The shun fong winner explained that, for example, before the gills went online, they had been tested for more than a month at a fast speed, and that the best preservation temperature for the gills was found to be between 5°c and 15°c, and that collisions and crushing during transport could easily cause decay. In response to the above phenomenon, cold chain transport equipment was added to the cyanide packagings at a fast pace: ice bags were used for cooling the fresh, foam boxes were used to isolate the temperature, plastic boxes were used to fix the position of the cyanide branches and to prevent direct contact between the cyanide and the ice bags from being frozen。
In addition, fresh fruit such as blueberries and strawberries are not easily preserved, as described by the successful selections, and the blueberries are kept in a two-storey package, which requires air vents to ensure their breathing. In addition, there is a need for manual quality checks in terms of maturity, and the company requires that the blueberries delivered by the manufacturer are not ripe, but rather relatively mature, ensuring both a certain amount of storage time and proper delivery to the customer. The method of selection does not allow direct hand-to-hand contact with fruit, which can easily damage fruit or make it fresh。
Choi xiaoqi stated that, in the case of non-banked direct-supply goods, 24 hours of direct access to users through fast-track logistics systems such as sunfung aviation, in order to ensure freshness, the harvesting of fresh commodities could be delayed in the event of external factors such as bad weather, thus avoiding delays in the logistics process。
In the case of the twigs, when the fruit farmers remove the twigs, shun yuu will send a refrigerated truck to collect the goods locally and send them to the local airport, where they will be installed and transported directly to their destination, followed by a specialized refrigerated truck. As it is direct, the twigs are retailed locally and, upon arrival at the destination, the product is delivered directly to the distribution sites, which use the cooling box and ice sheet formula to deliver the final packaging to the consumer。
For commodities entering the warehouse, choi xiaoqi indicated that parcels in the same city would normally be received for no more than 24 hours, while parcels in the same area would normally be received for no more than 72 hours。
In an effort to address the problem of rapid logistics, suning yee said to the daily economic news reporter that suning yee is now making up for cold-chain logistics by integrating logistics companies with the capacity to service the cold-chain, and will soon build their own cold-chain warehouses and logistics distribution systems。
The later self-employment model will be based on the suning euphoria, which will be responsible for pre-operational sales, and the order flow will be transferred to the factory, which will be responsible for distribution. In terms of quality protection, sunin has purchased integrated supply chains, logistics distribution, and worked with third-party logistics companies to ensure delivery services are completed as soon as possible。
Vegetables also suffer from problems of transportation, such as the “corresponding land” project, which has been ablaze, and small problems due to inexperience when trying to transport fresh vegetables。
In march of this year, zhejiang heung yie electronic commerce ltd. Carried out a new experiment with the “land electrician” model, also known as the “coalition of land”, in places such as the lake village in anhuizhou county, where citizens would need at least $580 to become “private-ordered” farmers, enjoying one-year ownership of their crop。
This model increases farmers ' incomes and allows urban people to eat food and vegetables, but problems arise when they are first transported。
The secretary of the lake village party branch, hu xiaogang, told journalists that it would take about two or three days for the entire mail process to be carried out in the morning and picked and packed in the afternoon. Unfortunately, it was raining that day, with more water in the vegetables and less experience, and the long road was broken when the shipment passed. Finally, the company had to reissue it once。
In fact, although lessons have been learned that operators have purchased energy-efficient nitrogen machines, freezers (inventing ice bags) and inflatable buffer packers, the conservation of leafy vegetables remains unresolved, and operators have to mail more easily preserved products such as tomatoes and cucumbers。
High logistics costs/
The transport costs of fresh products from the cold chain are higher than those of conventional transport, and more competitive prices require centralized procurement, but higher costs are also considered by cold-chain electricians if they are not well preserved and more expensive。
"it's really hard for a fresh electrician, not the blue sea that we thought it was." choi xiaoqi said to the daily economic news reporter, “the cold chain threshold is so high that how to deliver the freshest products to consumers may not be affordable for ordinary electricians”
The same sentiment is shared by those responsible for cold chain distribution in suning, “the demand for fresh products is extremely high for logistics, both to keep food fresh and to keep delivery fast, most commonly through cold chain logistics. However, cold-chain logistics is more complex than the requirements of a normal temperature logistics system, and construction is costly and a large system project.”
Suning's producer of fresh and fresh goods has stated frankly that, for electricians, the sale of fresh and fresh goods is the biggest challenge at the moment, and that “consumers may be dissatisfied with the quality of fresh and fresh goods, which would undoubtedly increase the cost of operating”
As a result of the high cost of fresh products in the cold chain, the successful selection was initially targeted for medium- and high-end fresh food。
“scheduled at the middle and high end, 70 per cent are food imports at the medium and high end, which is conducive to food safety and to consumer purchase of better-quality products, using some differentiated routes.” choi xiaoqie states that, because of the relatively high logistics costs of fresh products in the cold chain, “including cold-chain transportation and distribution costs, the average cost per passenger per unit is around $200 according to product structure and price to ensure profitability.”
On issues such as centralized procurement and return of goods, choi xiaoqi indicated that the company was currently concentrating its purchases mainly on frozen meat, seafood and cold storage at 18°c, with long shelf life。
“even if the conditions of preservation are very good, some fruits and vegetables are susceptible to deterioration, and if the methods of preservation and transport are not adequate, the losses are very large and can reach almost 20 per cent。
