China News Service, December 29th, on the 29th, the National Development and Reform Commission held a press conference to introduce the "14th Five-Year Plan" Modern Logistics Development Plan.
According to Zhang Jiangbo, deputy director of the Department of Economics and Trade of the National Development and Reform Commission, modern logistics has the dual characteristics of both productive service industry and consumer service industry. According to statistics from industry associations, there are more than 50 million logistics-related employees in my country, which is of great significance to stabilizing employment.
Especially during the response to the epidemic, modern logistics has played an important role in ensuring the supply of living materials and maintaining normal production and living order. Like key industries such as water and electricity, it has become an important support for ensuring social and people's livelihood.
Zhang Jiangbo said that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the National Development and Reform Commission and relevant departments will focus on intensifying work in three aspects to better play the role of modern logistics in ensuring people's livelihood: First, support the expansion of domestic demand and consumption upgrades.
Improve commerce, express delivery, and cold chain logistics networks, improve the logistics facility network in cities, especially megacities, and strengthen the ability to guarantee key living materials; make up for rural logistics facilities and service shortcomings, and speed up two-way logistics services for industrial products going to the countryside and agricultural products going out of the village Channels are upgraded and expanded, quality and efficiency are improved, and the supply of high-quality consumer goods is expanded.
The second is to ensure the safety of food and drug consumption.
Relying on large-scale cold chain logistics facilities such as the national backbone cold chain logistics base, strengthen quality supervision such as inspection and quarantine of fresh agricultural products.
Accelerate the establishment of a dynamic monitoring and traceability system covering the entire chain of cold chain logistics and the entire process of medical logistics, and improve the quality assurance level of cold chain logistics.
The third is to support the development of new formats to create more jobs.
Steadily develop new forms of business and new models such as instant delivery and online freight, create more jobs, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of employees.
Zhang Jiangbo said that in the near future, the National Development and Reform Commission will focus on two aspects of work: one is to promote the healthy and orderly development of the instant delivery industry.
Instant delivery is a fast logistics service that uses the new generation of information technology and human crowdsourcing to realize point-to-point, no storage, no transfer, and delivery on demand.
Driven by catering takeaways, especially the "stay-at-home economy" spawned by the epidemic, instant delivery has achieved rapid development, and has played an active role in ensuring the supply of living materials, improving residents' consumption experience, and promoting the expansion of consumption.
According to relevant industry associations, my country's instant delivery orders are expected to exceed 40 billion in 2022, a year-on-year increase of about 30%, and the market size will reach about 200 billion yuan.
As an emerging modern logistics industry with cross-border integration, instant distribution does not fully adapt to the current policy system and management mechanism, and the development of the industry faces a series of outstanding problems, including the incomplete policy framework system that adapts to the characteristics of instant delivery, and the traditional labor security system that does not adapt to the new The employment form needs to protect the rights and interests of laborers, the role of collaborative management of platform enterprises is insufficient, standards and regulations, and supporting facilities and equipment are not perfect.
In this regard, we are taking the lead in researching and formulating comprehensive policy documents, strengthening system planning and overall deployment, and further promoting the healthy and orderly development of instant delivery.
The second is to promote the layout and construction of large warehouse bases in the suburbs.
The suburban Dacang base directly faces the urban consumer market and has comprehensive service capabilities such as warehousing, sorting, processing, and packaging. It is closely related to emerging logistics formats such as instant delivery. An important means of ability.
In order to implement the relevant work deployment of the State Council, we are organizing the research work on the layout and construction of the suburban Dacang base.
Preliminary considerations plan to focus on the construction of a number of suburban large warehouse bases for large cities, and make overall use of suburban large warehouse bases that are close to the consumer market and have strong comprehensive service capabilities, as well as national logistics hubs and national backbone cold chain logistics bases. With the advantages of wide scope and high efficiency of integrated operation, it promotes the formation of a “National Logistics Hub (National Backbone Cold Chain Logistics Base) + Suburban Dacang Base” logistics facility network for daily necessities that “serves in normal times and responds in emergencies”, effectively improving urban logistics. The level of "conversion to emergency" of the system, and the ability to guarantee urban living materials and consumer goods.
