1. Environmental value
About one-third of vegetables worldwide are discarded due to spoilage, and freezing technology can extend their shelf life to 12 months, thereby reducing supply chain losses.
Case: According to a report by Rabobank, the carbon footprint of frozen vegetables is 40% lower than that of fresh vegetables transported by air.
2. Impact on the industrial chain
Farmers can plant seasonal vegetables such as okra and asparagus on a large scale and achieve year-round supply through frozen storage.
In 2024, China's frozen vegetable exports will increase by 23%, mainly to Japan and the European Union.
3 Consumer Action Suggestions
Choose additive free frozen products and support localized freezing factories (such as Shouguang production area in Shandong).
