Abstract

The cooperation in cold chain logistics across the straits has its origin in the “Cross-Straits Economic Cooperation Committee” for the Economic Cooperation Framework Arrangement (ECFA) established in 2011. Under the arrangement, Tianjin and Xiamen in China will be the two demonstration cities for pilot running of cross-straits cold chain logistics. In Taiwan, the Ministry of Economic Affairs will orchestrate the program and integrated with the industry in the formation of the “Cross-Straits Cold Chain Logistics Technology and Service Federation” with a view to combining the momentum of the industry and the formation of an alliance to launch for collective deployment. This has been a success in matching the enterprises and organizations in cold chain across the straits with the signing of more than 39 MOU or contracts, and brought about new business opportunities for the industry and logistics service sector of Taiwan with the result of NT$1.76 billion worth of investment and purchase. In China, effort has been made lately in regulating and standardizing cold chain food. The cold chain business in Taiwan must fully under the rules and standard of international operation so as to get the grip of the opportunity of internationalization and develop global competitive power. Taiwan is at an ideal location in Asia-Pacific and the logistics business has been well-developed with advanced technology and supply chain management service. With ECFA as an advantage, industry chain integration and optimization of operation efficiency could be accomplished through the development of system platform and standardization for the joint inspection across the straits in information sharing, and the establishment of the system for joint packaging, and storage standards under a set of uniform rules. The cold chain industry structure could also be developed into a global business chain more efficiently so that Taiwan could be the base in Asia Pacific for value adding the extent to which the cold chain logistics industry in Taiwan could extend all over Asia and even the whole world.
