In Sining Province, Vietnam, NECS cold storage, a large modern cold storage project with total investment up to 2 trillion Vietnamese dong (about 80 million dollars), has been put into commercial operation recently. The project is not only the largest digital bonded cold store in Vietnam so far, but also considered as the symbolic infrastructure to promote the modernization and upgrading of the supply chain of agricultural products and aquatic products and the construction of regional logistics hubs in the industry. Putting into operation is expected to significantly enhance the competitiveness of Vietnam's high-value temperature-control commodities in international trade, and hedge the export risks caused by traditional logistics efficiency bottlenecks.


Challenges and the Future
Despite the broad outlook, the challenges faced by NECS and the industry upgrades it represents are:
Investment return pressure: huge upfront investment and high operation and maintenance cost of automation equipment need to be digested by high utilization rate and premium service pricing.
Talent gap: the operation and maintenance of intelligent warehouse requires a large number of complex talents who understand both logistics and digital technology, and the current market supply is insufficient.
Industry standard and interconnection: promote the standardization of cold chain data in the whole industry and realize the seamless data connection of different platforms, warehouses and transportation links, which is the key to maximize the network effect.
