A research team working in Beijing on the Logistics System Development Research for Agricultural Products, a project financed by the Asian Development Bank, held a video conference with the American Cold Chain Working Group (ACCWG), located in Shanghai, on the afternoon of July 19.

They discussed the US’s experience in cold chain logistics, the development gap of cold chain logistics between China and the US, and China’s cold chain development.

The conference received support from the China Development Research Foundation and the US Consulate in Shanghai. Wang Wei, vice director-general of the Institute of Market Economy, hosted the conference. Other DRC officials – including Li Bu, Qi Yunlan and Liu Tao – also took part in the discussion.
