On Dec 12, the State Council approved a development plan for cold-chain logistics during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025). China is establishing a green and smart cold-chain logistics system with safety and efficiency while boosting the quality of logistics services based on China’s national conditions. By 2025, the goal is to have a cold-chain logistics network that navigates between production and sales, covering both cities and rural areas in China while connecting to the international market. By then, the cold-chain logistics system will suit the needs of economic and social development, with marked improvements in adjusting cross-seasonal supply and demand of agricultural products and delivering cold-chain products across regions.
