This report is part of a series on the export of Australian food to China. The purpose of this report is to review the distribution supply chain system for the export of food to China. This report describes the product flow and stakeholders in the chain, characteristics of the chain, relationships between suppliers and customers, cold chain logistics systems, and risks associated with the supply chain. This report is supported by the others in the series. Considered together, these reports provide a picture of the supply chain from Australian farm gates to Chinese consumers. Developing a greater understanding in this area will enable new and expanding exporters to take the best possible advantage of the Asian food boom
