Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission released a new batch of 19 national backbone cold chain logistics base construction list, and Zunyi City was successfully included. This is also the third national backbone cold chain logistics base successfully approved in Guizhou Province after Guiyang and Liupanshui.
Up to now, the National Development and Reform Commission has released a total of five batches of national backbone cold chain logistics base construction lists, with a total of 105 bases, covering all 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country. The goal set in the “14th Five-Year Plan for Cold Chain Logistics Development” to layout and build about 100 national backbone cold chain logistics bases by 2025 has been accomplished.
The Zunyi National Backbone Cold Chain Logistics Base is located in the central urban area of Zunyi. It adopts a layout of “two zones and three parks”, including the China Pepper City Comprehensive Logistics Park in the eastern zone and the Xinxueyu Southwest Agricultural Products Trading Center and Xinxueyu Pre-prepared Food Industrial Park in the urban area. The total area of the base is 1,098 mu, among which the eastern area covers 458 mu and the urban area 640 mu. In accordance with the operation system requirements of “Internet + cold chain logistics + agricultural and specialty products trading + agricultural product processing”, the base focuses on building “8 main and 6 auxiliary” cold chain logistics functions, including eight core functions such as freezing and refrigeration, international cold chain, trunk transportation, consolidation and distribution, urban distribution, multimodal transport, central kitchen, and agricultural product processing. The six supporting functions include professional markets, trading exhibitions, emergency supply guarantee, inspection, testing and quarantine, supply chain services, and information services. After the base is completed, the total cold storage capacity will be 514,900 cubic meters, including 398,000 cubic meters in the eastern area and 116,900 cubic meters in the urban area.
The construction of the Zunyi National Backbone Cold Chain Base will further improve the cold chain logistics network in Zunyi City, perfect the spatial layout of cold chain logistics in Guizhou Province, and improve the national cold chain logistics network system in the southwest region. It will strongly support the construction of the “Four horizontal and four vertical” national cold chain logistics backbone channel network and drive the large-scale, intensive, organized and networked development of cold chain logistics.
