Research on Cold Chain Logistics of Characteristic Agricultural

Products in Western China

Abstract:

The article is written to summarize the problems of cold chain logistics of characteristic agricultural products in western China by analyzing the development status. It puts forward the measures of development by the way of combining with the features of western China, referencing the experience from developed countries, and give consultations to speed up the development of characteristic agricultural products in western China .

Key words:

Characteristic agricultural products; Western China; cold chain logistics; strategy China's western region has rich agricultural resources, the output of major agricultural products in 12 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities occupying a considerable proportion across the country. In recent years, the development of pollution-free characteristic agriculture is very rapid, the western characteristics of agricultural products containing a huge market potential. While as a result of relative lag development, poor infrastructure, and lack of science and technology, the high-quality characteristics agricultural products are still unknown, and affected the formation of the agricultural industry as well as the local farmers' income. Since implementing the western development strategy, the state increased the intensity of support for ecological construction and infrastructure construction in the western areas, to markedly improve the communications, transportation, urban infrastructure and other hardware conditions, especially transportation condition, which provides a convenient conditions for the western region of agricultural products logistics development; at the same time, the development of cold chain logistics of agricultural products provides a new thought and method to further reduce the agricultural products loss and unnecessary economic loss, and bring hopes, opportunities and challenges in the development of modern logistics industry in western areas.

1. Overview the development of Chinese agricultural cold chain logistics

Cold chain logistics in our country, as produced in the '50s, has been promoted by "food hygiene law" promulgated in 1982. Since 1990s, our agricultural products cold chain logistics went through a rapid growth, and the overall level had greatly improved (table 1).Some leading enterprises of food industry had preliminarily set up

agricultural products cold chain logistics system. The western development strategy which was implemented in 2000 promoted the development speed of the western characteristic agricultural products cold chain logistics, especially the improvement of traffic and information conditions, and infrastructure construction of power grids, communications, radio and television, greatly promoting the western characteristic agricultural products logistics industry.

In recent years, although the modern logistics of western agricultural products has a certain degree of development, it is still in its infancy. The concept of modern logistics has not yet been popularized in local, and logistics services is still in low level compared with the eastern areas. At the meantime, the number of western region logistics companies are far less than that in eastern region, including: the number of companies involved in rural logistics is less than 1/5 of the east, the total assets is far lower than eastern enterprises (table 2); and most of the enterprise can only provide the logistics services by individual or section, unable to form a complete logistics supply chain.

Agricultural products cold chain logistics is still a relatively new field for the western region. There is a big gap between China and developed countries in agricultural cold chain logistics, and the development of the western region is obviously lagging behind the east. Therefore, speeding up the pace of agricultural products cold chain logistics development in western China would gradually narrow the gap, and improve the competitiveness of agricultural products in the west.
