In Vietnam, the cold chain logistics sector holds significant potential, particularly with the strong growth of agriculture, food production, and import-export activities. However, in 2024, this industry faces challenges such as rising fuel costs, global supply chain disruptions, and climate change. These factors require logistics companies to enhance the quality of refrigerated cargo transportation services to meet market demands.

Characteristics of Refrigerated Goods and Storage Requirements

Refrigerated goods include processed foods, fruits, vegetables, seafood, and pharmaceuticals requiring storage at low temperatures ranging from -18°C to -40°C. The preservation and transportation process demands precision and strict control to maintain product quality and nutritional value.
