Frozen food development put forward new requirements for the cold chain logistics industry

Cold chain logistics of frozen food in China has many problems, mainly reflected in three aspects: one is the development strategy, policy and regulations, standard is not perfect and not specific. The development direction of unknown, sharing platform is not clear, it is difficult to have a clear guidance for industry, today's jump on the bandwagon may even for future docking to bury next hidden trouble, accountability is not clear, not implement supervision may have buried hidden dangers of food safety. Two is the uneven development. Between different products, different regions, there are great differences between different enterprises, retail outlets. Three is more than the breakpoint. Even the blind spot, breakpoint many problems still exist in cold chain in more developed regions. Of course, it is not the West copied the Chinese, not even wrong to think that "the western developed country's development experience proved, to reach $4000 this stage in per capita GDP, fast development of refrigerated goods market will." Can infer that China would have the same status to make wrong judgment on industry. Should be soberly aware that the great differences between Chinese and Western eating habits. While the Chinese Western cold hot food in general, more important is to consumers in developed countries after the food safety education for many years, Chinese consumers are difficult to achieve in the long time of low temperature food safety knowledge and identification. To sum up, the cold chain logistics industry in China has a long way to go.

The development experience of western developed countries, to reach $4000 this stage in per capita GDP, fast development of refrigerated goods market will. According to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences forecast, in 2010 China's per capita GDP of nearly $4000, China will enter a period of rapid development of refrigerated goods market. In the recent fifteen years, China's frozen food, aquatic product, packaging modulation of meat, poultry and vegetables five kinds of frozen food together, more than 600 varieties, annual sales estimated at more than 8500000 tons, export volume has increased year by year, the frozen vegetables exported to Japan, Europe and America, each year more than 400000 tons. The existing size of frozen food processing plant more than 1000, the formation of billion yuan sales of about 50 companies, has formed dozens of famous brands, accounted for more than half of the market share. The frozen food has become China's complete emerging industrial food processing a considerable scale.

As the frozen food processing, circulation and temperature requirements of the decision, we must build up and perfect the corresponding cold chain, domestic and foreign market is bigger, the cold chain industry has also been a corresponding development. According to incomplete statistics, the annual turnover of more than 5000000 yuan in the frozen food cold storage enterprises, a total of more than 20000, most of which are functions of temperature cold storage, transportation, distribution enterprises, the employment of 2500000 people. At present our country cold storage capacity of about 8000000 tons / times, all kinds of refrigerated car 35000, all kinds of refrigerated ship tonnage 100000 tons, all kinds of railway refrigerated train of 8000 cars.

Nevertheless, the development of frozen food cold chain logistics in China is still in the initial stage, system of cold chain logistics scale, system has not yet formed, with the development of modern agriculture, compared to consumption and expand exports of agricultural products demand is still a gap. Outstanding performance in: one is the fresh agricultural products through the cold chain circulation ratio is still low, most fresh agricultural products is still in circulation at room temperature; part of the low temperature processing products in the slaughter or storage link, in transportation, sales and other links and the emergence of "chain" phenomenon, the entire cold chain ratio is too low. Two is the cold chain logistics infrastructure ability insufficiency. Our truck freight cars accounted for the proportion of only 0.3%; the key of logistics nodes, large-scale agricultural products wholesale market of agricultural products wholesale trading function of regional agricultural products distribution center and lack of refrigeration facilities. Three is the cold chain logistics technology extension lag. Fresh agricultural postpartum pre cooling technology and low temperature grades, packaging and processing commercial processing method is not yet universal, transportation temperature control means the original extensive, whole temperature is widely used in developed countries has not been widely applied in automatic control. The four is the development of third party cold chain logistics lag. The cold chain logistics enterprise mainly to small and medium enterprises, the strength is weak, the distribution of small scale, service standards are not unified, have the resources and industry to promote the capacity of large cold chain logistics enterprise has just started. Five is the cold chain logistics system of laws and regulations and standard system is not perfect, the relevant management measures were carried out in developed countries and practice is still at the beginning stage in promotion in china.

Visible, lagging behind the development of cold chain logistics industry has become the bottleneck of the development of China's frozen food industry. Therefore, accelerating the development of frozen food cold chain logistics, has become improve frozen food quality, break through the green trade barrier, an important measure to enhance the international competitiveness of the. How to realize the effective link China's frozen food enterprises and cold chain logistics enterprises, accelerate the construction of cold chain logistics technology, standard system, standardization, cold chain logistics service system integration, and promote the common development of China's frozen food industry and the cold chain logistics industry, become a major issue of China's food science urgently to solve the.
