Integrated Supply Chain for Fresh Produc Diagram

Strengths

• Extending upstream into processing effectively breaks the low-margin trap of simple distribution
• Cold chain pre-cooling and digital warehousing/distribution technology significantly reduce circulation losses

Weaknesses

• Heavy asset investment with high depreciation pressure on cold storage and processing lines
• High marginal costs for flexible processing during small-batch customization

Opportunities

• Continued release of dividends from pre-prepared dish industry funds and special subsidies
• B2B restaurant demand for cost reduction and efficiency improvement drives the rise in demand for pre-cut and semi-finished vegetables

Threats

• Stricter food safety regulations for pre-prepared dishes increase compliance costs
• Cross-industry competition from fresh food e-commerce giants triggers price wars
