First, the core concept
Logistics: a broader concept that refers to the entire process of planning, implementation, and control in the supply chain, from raw materials to final delivery to consumers, including transportation, warehousing, packaging, loading and unloading, distribution processing, and information processing.
Freight transportation: It focuses more on the physical transportation of goods and is a core component of logistics.
Simple understanding: logistics > freight. Freight is the "artery" of logistics.
Key links (logistics chain)
A complete logistics freight process usually includes:
Warehousing and inventory management: storage, sorting, packaging, labeling of goods.
Transportation: The core part, moving goods through different means.
Handling and handling: The key operations that connect warehousing and transportation.
Distribution and the last mile: one of the most expensive and complex steps in getting goods to the final consignee.
Information flow management: Tracking orders, inventory, and vehicle locations through information systems (e.g. TMS, WMS) for visualization.
A "Cherry Express" cargo ship loaded with more than 7,800 tons of Chilean cherries arrived at Guangzhou's Nansha port ahead of schedule. This not only announced the official start of the new cherries season in the southern hemisphere in 2025-2026, but also revealed a deep-flowing efficiency revolution in China's imported fresh supply chain with an earlier arrival time than in previous years. The journey of a cherry from a distant Chilean orchard to the fruit plate of a Chinese consumer is getting faster and faster. The story behind it is about the speed, freshness and profound changes in the market landscape.
