Cold chain logistics
Cold chain logistics is the heartbeat of the global food distribution network, ensuring that perishable goods retain their quality from the farm to the consumer's table. It involves an uninterrupted series of refrigerated production, storage, and distribution activities, coupled with associated equipment and logistics, which maintain a desired low-temperature range. By mitigating the risks of spoilage and extending the shelf life of products, cold chain logistics plays a pivotal role in reducing food waste and ensuring that consumers have access to fresh and nutritious food, irrespective of the geographical distances involved.
