At present, the cold storage capacity of the whole region is 50,000 cubic meters, and the storage capacity is more than 10,000 tons. In the local cold storage, the reporter saw that not only locally produced vegetables such as mung bean sprouts, Chinese cabbage and potatoes are stored here, but also vegetables that are resistant to storage are transported from other provinces such as Shandong, and they are stored in an orderly manner according to market conditions, and the price of vegetables is stabilized.
