With frequent food safety problems in school cafeterias in recent years, campus food safety issues have become a hot topic in the news again recently. Since the beginning of the school year, incidents of student poisoning and bad "nutritional meals" have occurred in many places, which have not only damaged students' health, but also jeopardized their life safety, arousing strong social concern. Whether the ingredients in school canteens are safe, fresh, and nutritious has become a core issue that every family and student is most concerned about.

Food safety is the source of campus food safety and the foundation of food distribution companies. Based on the characteristics of high concentration and wide geographical distribution of consumer groups in the school food distribution market, the profit margin of enterprise distribution will be relatively high. In my country's agricultural product supply chain model, from the production base to the agricultural product market circulation, there are many intermediary entities, layer upon layer of price increases, and layer upon layer of losses, resulting in poor circulation of agricultural products and high costs. The market operation process bears high transaction costs and social costs. transaction costs. In addition, due to the high loss of fresh agricultural products, the straight-through distribution model that shortens the circulation link as much as possible is increasingly favored by customers in the B-end market.

Therefore, distribution to schools, a B-end market that has not yet been fully developed, can be said to be an area with strong prospects.

The basic needs for school canteen distribution include the distribution of seasonal vegetables such as grains, oils, eggs, condiments, condiments, non-staple foods and frozen foods. However, the school cafeteria is different from other social restaurants. The school will strictly control the quality of seasonal vegetables delivered, so as to ensure that students' daily diet is healthy. At present, most schools basically use policies and regulations to restrict fresh food suppliers.

It can be seen that fresh food suppliers control the lifeblood of the entire food safety chain. Student food safety is a systematic project that cannot be taken lightly. In order to allow students to eat more safely, comfortably, and satisfactorily, what requirements does the school cafeteria have for these fresh food supply companies?

The local education system has explicit requirements for companies to distribute food:

First, vegetables must be fresh and have a pesticide and drug residue test report.

Second, pork and poultry must be fresh, look good, and undergo animal quarantine and designated slaughtering.

Third, bulk primary agricultural products must be products with complete three certificates and QS certification, and test reports must be obtained.

Fourth, stereotyped packaged foods must provide the production enterprise's business license, production license, product inspection report and certificate of conformity, and compulsory certification such as QS certification.

Fifth, the distribution of excipients must require the business license, production license, product inspection report and certificate of conformity of the production enterprise.

Sixth, the quality of the food delivered will be improved. The edible oil will be non-GMO first-grade rapeseed oil, and relevant food without QS standards will be resolutely prevented from entering the school cafeteria.

Characteristics of School Canteen Delivery Demand

It is important to The reason is that the safety, hygiene and guarantee of fresh food ingredients can improve the efficiency of logistics services and reduce corporate procurement costs.

To become an excellent enterprise favored by school cafeterias, it should achieve the following aspects:

The safety of food ingredients is the prerequisite for everything. Students are the future of a family and the foundation of a prosperous and powerful country. When selecting ingredients, you must strictly control every step and make purchases in accordance with the government-level regulations on the quality standards of various types of ingredients.

Pay attention to timeliness. Students' dining time in school is concentrated in the prescribed time period, and the meal time is basically completed within 0.5-1 hour. Distribution companies generally need to deliver vegetables to colleges and universities regularly between 8-9 a.m. and 2-3 p.m. every day to ensure normal meals in school cafeterias.

Ensure the normal operation of corporate capital flow. School cafeterias and other government canteens generally use monthly settlement as the settlement cycle, and then go through the payment process. It takes 40-45 days for the actual payment to arrive. This causes distribution companies to face the problem of long accounting periods and high financial pressure. Therefore, distribution companies Enterprises must establish good supply chain management capabilities and improve work efficiency.

The supply of dishes is relatively fixed, and the volume of shipments is large. The menus served in school cafeterias every day are basically fixed, and the chance of change is small. Distribution companies can optimize their management measures during the operation process based on these rules and lay a solid brand foundation in this market.
