Abstract

This study introduces concepts of the agricultural product cold chain logistics and domestic and international researches. Also, the study discusses issues of Chinese agricultural cold chain logistics in the development process as the following aspects: the dividing of cold chain logistics market, refrigeration hardware facilities, third-party cold chain logistics development, the level of cold chain technologies, cold chain logistics professionals and the legal system and the standard system. Next, this study focuses on the countermeasures to solve problems of the agricultural cold chain logistics development by some ways as followings: increasing investments in technology, accelerating the improvement of the cold chain logistics facilities, strengthening the cultivation of third-party cold chain logistics enterprise, encouraging the training of personnel, promoting the cold chain logistics informatization and improving relevant laws, regulations and standards. Combining with the cold chain logistics of Mengniu Dairy, this study analyzes and proposes countermeasures. Finally, this study summarizes the developments in Chinese agricultural chain logistics, which needs to be strengthened in many aspects for suiting Chinese situation.
