Asia Conference

In cooperation with

conFerence overvieW

The cold chain market in Asia is set to explode in the short and medium

term with 40-50% growth rates over the next two years, due to demand

for perishable goods, increasing wealth distribution and the development

of e-commerce.

Rising middle class incomes in Asia result in increasing demand and are

providing new opportunities for the cold chain logistics sector, covering all

stages between production and consumption.

However there is a big ‘but’. At least 30 percent of temperature sensitive

cargoes are being wasted and have to be destroyed due to insufficient

infrastructure, differences in culture and communication problems.

Due to poor handling in the process of transportation, storage and

retailing, losses in China alone are estimated to be in the region of

RMB100 billion (USD16 billion).

There is a critical need for a better dialogue between the logistics sector

and perishable producers, exporters and importers. Without greater open-

mindedness and mutual trust on both sides this will not work: customers

need more effective and reliable solutions and the logistics sector needs to

be able to maintain and create better value. How can this be achieved?

For a start food safety needs to be improved and the creation of world-

class delivery standards already established in Europe, the US and some

other Asia countries, such as Japan, will need to be adopted across Asia.

a neW Forum

Running concurrently with the Asia Fruit Logistica Exhibition, this brand new

one-day event will focus on regional perishable supply chain issues in Asia.

Cool Logistics has become an internationally recognized platform for

connecting perishable logistics and cold chain experts with producers and

shippers of commodities that require temperature control.

Designed as a regional event to complement Cool Logistics Global in

Europe and other biennial regional events such as Cool Logistics Africa

and Cool Logistics Americas, Cool Logistics Asia will be held in Hong

Kong, on the doorstep of the world’s largest potential cold chain market.
