| This article describes the research background and significance of the containerization transport of crops, the current study results, the global grain situation and development trend of container transportation, as well as the status and problem of transportation for crops in China. By contrast specific quantitative and qualitative, compared to bulk grain transportation, there're advantages and the feasibility of further development in China for container transportation. Finally, it points out the problem that may occur for container transportation in China.Considering the trends of high quality and diversification for Food production, the traditional packet-based distribution and circulation of bulk transportation for grain has been unable to meet the market demand. In contrast, transport of food through the container with high quality, high efficiency, high-availability, low investment and other characteristics has been gradually integrated into the grain circulation system and keep growing.Although with many advantages, the development of container transport for crops has very short history, the theory is still in its infancy and there are still many constraints in the actual operation. Even in developed countries, crop transportation by container shipping is still with low proportion and it's even lagging behind in China. Container transportation of the crops will not completely replace the traditional package of bulk transport for a long period of time.However, through analysis and comparison, this article indicates that with the continuous improvement of storage conditions, crops container traffic will continue to show the superiority in the development of our country with the good possibility of future prospects. Especially in some special cases, there are more obvious advantages for container transport to replace bulk transportation and are expected to achieve rapid growth in the short term.Aiming to study food container transport, this article is relatively systematic and will be helpful for understanding of China's crop container transport on the current situation and future development with certain practical significance. At the same time, there are certain innovations in terms of statistical data and research methods.The inadequacies of the article are a little bit weak in the theoretical basis of subject systems. |
