China’s expanding cold chain

According to a recent New York Times article on the cold chain in China, the country had less than 7.1 million m3 of refrigerated storage capacity in 2007 but is on track to having 20 times that by 2017. At 142 million m3 of cold storage, the country would surpass the United States, and even that figure translates into a mere 0.10 m3/capita.
