2026-02-26
In the first half of 2026, the volume of cold logistics between China and Russia increased by 40% compared to the same period last year, and demand for the transportation of fresh produce, seafood, meat and dairy products increased sharply. Customs and regulatory authorities of China and Russia have completed mutual recognition of cold chain standards, unified requirements for temperature conditions, packaging and quarantine, eliminating repeated inspections. The cross-border cold chain relies on refrigerated trains, insulated vehicles and specialized refrigerated vessels to provide end-to-end temperature monitoring with real-time data tracking capabilities. Refrigeration bases in several regions of China have opened specialized China-Russia lines, combining storage, pre-cooling, sorting and transportation; Temperature-controlled inspection areas are installed at border crossings, which reduces delay times. Cold logistics expands the range of trade, stimulating enterprises to modernize equipment and services.
