Policies drive high-quality growth in cold chain logistics

China's total demand for cold chain logistics in 2023 was 350 million tons, with a year-on-year growth of 6.1 percent.

According to incomplete statistics, 23 relevant policy documents related to the development of cold chain were issued at the national level in 2023, said an official in charge of Cold Chain Logistics Committee of China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing.

By the end of 2023, the National Development and Reform Commission had approved the construction of three batches of 66 national cold chain logistics bases.

Benefiting from a continually improving modern logistics system, not only are domestic products experiencing rapid circulation, but imported agricultural products like cherries from Chile, beef from Russia, and durians from Southeast Asia, have also flooded the Chinese market.
