Abstract:
The world today is experiencing a great change that has not happened in a century. China ispromoting the construction of a new development pattern with domestic systemic circulation as the main
body and domestic and international double cycles promoting each other. Ensuring national food security has
new historical characteristics. Grain logistics connects grain production, circulation, and consumption, as
well as highly integrates transportation, warehousing, deconsolidation, distribution, information and other
service functions. It plays a leading, fundamental, and strategic role in building a modern grain circulation
system, and is of great significance for ensuring national food security, maintaining the safety and stability of
the grain industry supply chain, and accelerating the high-quality development of the grain industry. This
article reviewed the development of grain logistics in China, and analyzed the prominent problems by
comparing the latest progress of grain logistics industry with foreign grain logistics research. It proposed the
development priorities and recommendations for China's grain logistics, including improving the layout of
grain logistics facilities, developing grain logistics nodes and parks, improving the technical level of
diversified grain logistics, optimizing multimodal transport connection and logistics control technology,
accelerating the upgrading of technical equipment, leading intelligent technology, promoting food logistics
standards, improving supporting policies, and accelerating talent training. These results could provide useful
references for innovation in grain logistics technology and equipment, optimization of logistics systems,
construction of logistics facilities, and formulation of national food security policies.
