Grain Container transportation means: Containers are used as an integral part of grain packaging and transportation means. In rural or grass-roots grain depots, the grain produced by farmers is directly packed into Containers and sealed. The container can be a general-purpose container or a special grain container. If it is a general-purpose container, it should be properly handled to ensure that it is sealed, and then the container is sealed. Ship to train stations or container terminals, and ship to users across the country or to buyers abroad. Containers for transporting grain can also participate in the container transport system and enter the large logistics system of the whole society, so there is no need to build a professional grain container transport system, saving a lot of construction costs.

Compared with the circulation of packaged grains and the circulation of bulk grains, grain container transportation has the following advantages:

1. The use of mechanized operations reduces the labor intensity of workers; saves manpower and greatly improves installation efficiency.

2. The procedures are simplified, and the tally and handover procedures on the transportation link are reduced; the use of container multimodal transport can shorten the transit time and ensure market supply.

3. It is suitable for the transportation of various varieties of grains, small batches and various quality grades. Different means of transport by road, rail and water can be used to meet different time requirements.

4. There is no need to build special grain circulation facilities, make full use of the existing general container loading and unloading equipment, and greatly reduce the capital construction investment.

5. It is not limited by harsh weather conditions, and can operate all day long to ensure the normal transportation of vehicles and ships.

6. Save packaging materials and packaging costs, reduce food loss and economic losses, and ensure transportation safety.

7. Implement "door-to-door" transportation to improve service quality.

Whether it is the choice of packaged grain circulation, bulk grain circulation or container transportation, the cost of grain transportation is a very important factor, because any operator's operation is to obtain certain economic benefits. Usually, the price and expense of container shipping are relatively high, so is container shipping cost-competitive when it comes to transporting grain?
