Fresh food shopping is more convenient

Accelerate the improvement of urban cold chain distribution networks, strengthen the construction of cold chain distribution centers, fresh food front warehouses, community cold chain transfer stations, etc., and support the popularization of low-temperature freezers, cold chain self-pickup cabinets and other equipment in supermarkets and fresh food stores.
