Abstract
  • A major issue facing the cold logistics sector is customer attrition as a result of a great deal of food items spoiling in warehouses owing to low temperatures. It will be discussed how this corporation will weather the many accusations and problems it has experienced. A summary of the research about food security and transportation firms will be covered, along with certain structural issues and personnel issues. There will be a discussion of the company's breadth, including eating and vegetable preservation and food space. Over the Yellow Sea from the Korean island lies the Chinese province of Shandong, also called Shan-Tung. The population of Shandong is ranked as the second largest province in China, with Henan having the highest population. China's eastern coast is home to Shandong, a major agricultural centre. This province is essential to China's food production because of its extensive agricultural landscapes. Agriculture is not only a traditional occupation in Shandong; it is also a key economic pillar. The reason for such transportation’s importance is that the territory’s crop provides jobs for a large number of its citizens, supports regional industries, and contributes significantly to the GDP. As noted, Shandong is doing well in the sector, but rather it faces challenges making sure the crop's produce is safe and of high quality, especially when it comes to distant territories. That is the point where cold chain logistics becomes of crucial importance. Such logistics keep perishable foods safe and fresh from the farm to one's table. It is a system of transporting and storing perishable foods that require protection by maintaining a set temperature using temperature-controlled transportation and storage. Hence, the present research is aimed at providing a brief overview and analysis of logistics for the cold chain regarding Shandong's agriculture sector. Specifically, the study evaluates the current state of the transportation in question, locates possible areas to use better, and provides recommendations for possible fixes. The research methodology, the study findings, and the recommendations are revealed below. Cold chain logistics is the process of moving and storing specified temperature-sensitive commodities. It refers to perishable foods, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and vaccines, for example. This keeps the product's effectiveness, safety, and quality intact throughout the supply chain. The cold chain is essential for an organization in which temperature control is necessary to avoid spoilage, degradation, and loss of product efficacy. Temperature is the key parameter in cold chain logistics. Common temperatures are maintained for temperature-sensitive goods using refrigeration at 2°C – 8°C or freezing -20°C or below. The critical temperatures are maintained during storage and transit using sophisticated thermal control and monitoring systems.
