The concerns raised by the “formaldehyde cabbage” incident continue. One focus of the industry's concerns is why do illegal buyers use formaldehyde solution to “keep” cabbage fresh? On August 24, Professor Wang Guoli, chief expert of the National Agricultural Products Modern Logistics Engineering Technology Research Center and deputy director of the Cold Chain Committee Expert Committee of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, said in an interview with a reporter from Pengping News that the actual coverage rate of the entire cold chain for domestic fresh vegetable products is relatively low. “The comprehensive cost of cold chain transportation is 30% to 50% higher than room temperature transportation, and transportation costs usually account for 20% to 40% of the value of vegetables.” Wang Guoli said that cold chain transportation is usually used within a transportation radius of more than 300 km. The core categories that use the cold chain are mainly leafy vegetables, fresh edible roots, fungi, and high-value-added imported and exported vegetables.
