In the trend of globalization, many businesses choose to export through Alibaba to reach international customers. However, for the seafood industry - an extremely temperature-sensitive industry - controlling the cold chain process is vital. If not guaranteed well, even if you have invested in opening a store, registering an Alibaba account or marketing, it is still very easy to complain, return goods and affect your reputation.
1. Overview of seafood cold preservation process
The cold chain is a system that controls temperature throughout from harvest to delivery to international customers. A standard process includes the following main steps:
Refrigerate immediately after harvest
Preparation and quick freezing
Packaging and cold storage
Domestic and international shipping
Just one wrong step can cause the entire shipment to be damaged, directly affecting the store's rating on Alibaba Vietnam.
2. Detailed but streamlined cold preservation process
Refrigerate and prepare initially
Immediately after harvest, seafood needs to be quickly cooled to 0°C - 4°C with ice or cold sea water. Then proceed to classify, clean and remove impurities.
Important points:
The faster the processing time, the better
Avoid cross-contamination
Ensure washing water meets export standards
This is the foundation step to help the product maintain its freshness before being put on the store.
Quick freezing and packaging
After preliminary processing, the product will be frozen at -35°C to -40°C to maintain the meat structure and nutrition. This is a factor that international customers on Alibaba often check very carefully.
Afterward:
Vacuum packaging
Use moisture-proof, tear-resistant packaging
Clearly state product information and certification
If you are consulting on opening a store, remember that pictures and information about the freezing process will significantly increase credibility.
Storage and transportation
After freezing, the product will be stored in cold storage at -18°C or lower. When shipping:
Use refrigerated containers (reefer containers)
Maintains a stable temperature throughout the journey
Monitor temperature continuously
In the process of exporting through Alibaba, cold logistics costs account for the majority of the cost of opening an Alibaba booth, so it needs to be calculated carefully.
3. Factors that determine success when selling seafood on Alibaba
Although many people are concerned about the problem of "Alibaba fraud", in reality most risks come from non-standard operations. To be successful, businesses need:
Cold storage process meets international standards (HACCP, ISO, FDA...)
Product descriptions are clear and transparent
Actual images of cold storage and factories
Respond to customers quickly
When you register for an Alibaba account, these are the factors that help your store stand out and create trust.
4. Costs and notes when implementing
When joining Alibaba, businesses need to prepare:
Membership fee (cost of opening a booth)
Cold storage and freezing costs
International shipping costs
Marketing and operating costs
Therefore, many businesses choose consulting to open a booth to optimize costs and avoid initial errors.
5. Conclusion
Cold storage is not just a technical step but the foundation for all seafood export activities through Alibaba. Even if you invest heavily in booths or advertising, if the cold chain is not guaranteed, all efforts can fail.
