In recent years, the scale of China's cold chain logistics has grown rapidly. Taking the cold chain logistics of agricultural products as an example, the output of fresh agricultural products in China has increased rapidly. About 400 million tons of fresh agricultural products enter the circulation field every year, and the proportion of cold chain logistics is gradually increasing. The forward-looking forecast is that in the next few years, the cold chain circulation rate of China's fruits, vegetables, meat and aquatic products will increase from 5%, 15% and 23% to more than 20%, 30% and 36%, and the refrigerated transportation rate will increase from 15% and 30% respectively. From 40% to 30%, 50% and 65%, it will bring tens of billions or even 100 billion yuan of cold chain logistics market demand.
According to the forward-looking data survey, at present, about 40% of enterprises in China prefer self-operated refrigerated logistics business in order to effectively control product quality, but 60% of enterprises still hope to use third-party cold chain logistics to reduce the pressure of product cold chain transportation. Therefore, it is necessary for temperature-controlled product manufacturers to outsource cold chain logistics, and its necessity is embodied in the advantages that enterprises obtain in the process of cold chain outsourcing. The advantages obtained by enterprises in the process of cold chain logistics outsourcing are embodied in the following points:
1. Through cold chain logistics outsourcing, enterprises can concentrate on developing their main business
Companies in need of cold chain logistics generally focus on the production of low-temperature and perishable food enterprises. These enterprises have high requirements for basic refrigeration technology, refrigerated transportation technology and operation in cold chain logistics, and require enterprises to have a complete set of It also requires enterprises to establish sophisticated refrigerated transportation equipment and professional transportation management mechanism, and these are precisely the weak links of production enterprises. Therefore, outsourcing cold chain logistics to a third party and concentrating time and energy on developing the main business is the best choice for enterprises.
2. Cold chain logistics outsourcing can effectively reduce enterprise costs
Outsourcing the cold chain transportation of products can effectively reduce the investment necessary for enterprises in various cold chain logistics facilities such as the purchase of transportation vehicles, the establishment of fleets, and the construction of cold storage, thereby effectively reducing the financial cost of the enterprise; If there is a problem due to improper transportation, the third-party logistics company will be responsible for it, which can also reduce the relevant operating costs of the enterprise and reduce the manpower and material expenditures in this regard.
3. Cold chain logistics outsourcing can effectively enhance the competitiveness of enterprises
The improvement of enterprise competitiveness is mainly based on the first two points. With the continuous intensification of industry competition, for small and medium-sized enterprises that do not have the ability to self-operate cold chain logistics, investing valuable resources into cold chain logistics is not worth the loss, and perfect The third-party cold chain logistics can provide all the logistics services required by the enterprise, and help the production enterprise to concentrate on the development of the main business, so as to gain an advantage in the industry competition with the advantages of high quality and low cost.
