Logistics in the food industry: where it is going in 2022
Where will logistics in the food industry
go in 2022? Traditionally, the food industry has been characterized by having trucks and large storage warehouses. However, in recent years technological advances have dramatically changed the way these businesses are conducted.
The supply chain has been simplified in such a way that even end users or consumers are virtually involved in it. Visibility and transparency have increased thanks to the use of robotics in warehouses and computerized tracking of merchandise.

Logistics in the food industry: The industry and its advances
By 2022, logistics in the food industry is expected to continue to contribute to meeting the food needs of all sectors of the population. The food industry is a gigantic multibillion-dollar cog, driven by human demand.
As the world population increases, the food industry will require equally marked growt h. Otherwise, this sector will not be able to satisfy the more than 9.6 billion inhabitants that the planet will have before the year 2050.
In this sense, the UN said that the increase in food production should increase by more than 65% from 2010. The objective is to guarantee food security throughout the world.
Industrial food machinery is the one that requires the most orderly and meticulous logistics. Food production is massive given the high demand; But due to the perishable nature of many of these and their waste, impeccable logistics need to be implemented.
The goal will be to better manage:
- Inventories
- Transportation of food
- Storage
- Maintenance
- Supply and demand
- Food waste
Trends in logistics in the food industry by 2022
New logistics trends are being implemented in the food industry to achieve the food safety of the future.
Since 2020, with the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual solutions have increased in this industry. The objective is to achieve efficiency in the distribution and general handling of food.
The use of the Internet of Things (IoT)
The pandemic has increased virtual transactions in all areas of life. By 2022, the entire food business sector is expected to have automated the supply chain , using different digital tools.
Logistics companies have become heroes in the use of technological tools. By adapting to the new circumstances, the food supply chain has remained in optimal operation despite everything.
Perform predictive analysis
Real-time data analysis enables future results in the supply chain to be anticipated. If information is processed in a digital tool about the performance of the company, the future outcome of the business can be predicted.
This in turn results in:
- Minimize costs by avoiding the mistakes of the past
- Reduce losses
- Improve competitive status
- Better meet demand
Optimal supply chain monitoring
A single weak element in the supply chain can affect the entire company, leading to trust and reputation problems. This is why it is essential to trace the product from the farm to the consumer’s hands. Current technology allows this to be done.
Manage the cold chain
The perishable nature of many foods can bring great losses in this industrial sector. Today’s sophisticated technological world allows tight temperature control to be performed on trucks, ship containers, and airplanes.
The cold chain comprises several stages that guarantee the preservation of food quality. These include production, storage, transportation and destination conditions. The preservation of the cold chain is one of the goals in the logistics of the food industry in 2022 .
Decrease food loss
According to the FAO , a third of the food produced worldwide is wasted for different reasons. This, in addition to affecting different sectors, also has a negative impact on the environment.
The logistics strategy in the food industry is to reduce food losses by mid-2022 . It is desired to ensure that food safety improves its statistics.
Do you have a food business? Get advice from the experts and make sure that your production covers the supply chain in such a way that consumers receive a product in optimal conditions.
