Indonesia has a vast potential market for cold chain businesses that are dependent on livestock, fisheries, and processed food. The cold chain business supports not just the food processing industry and fishing industry but the pharmaceutical industry and retail networks as well. This case study helps bring to light the obstacles faced by the industry and logistics solutions on offer.

What are the challenges faced in the Indonesian Cold Chain Industry

  • Inadequate technological systems Some of the challenges in the Indonesian cold chain industry take the form of inept technological systems and a lack of track and trace visibility in delivery systems. Planning is often done manually, eating up a lot of time and leading to delays in picking the order from the warehouse.

  • On-ground constraints Time-slots for customers, traffic, weather conditions, and various other road restrictions all add up to delay if not taken into account by businesses when planning deliveries. Underutilization of vehicles is common as well.

  • Lack of visibility in supply chains Logistics managers find it challenging to monitor on-ground operations and take preventive measures in case of any change in planned delivery schedules when there is poor supply chain visibility.

  • Little support from the government In most parts of Indonesia, the government has not yet agreed to provide exemption on duties, and so, 100% of raw metal for the cold chain industry is imported. There is no provision of tax holiday facilities to build cold storage assembly plants in the country either.
