The company also delivered a presentation on Farm to Store Logistics to more than 300 senior delegates at the summit. David Edwards, general manager, marketing and development of China Merchants Loscam, outlined how returnable packaging can address the 25% food wastage rate of traditional fresh produce supply chains.

The company also presented a number of case studies showing how the standardisation of transit platforms, such as pallets and produce crates, can lead to improved produce protection, cost reduction, efficiency improvement and in-store display enhancement.

“Greater China is making a big shift to enhance food protection in the supply chain and Loscam is working closely with the industry to develop sustainable, returnable packaging solutions that improve food safety and lower supply chain costs,” Edwards said.
