With the development of the national economy and the continuous improvement of people’s requirementsfor food, the cold-chain logistics will enjoy more and more attention. The yields of fruits and vegetables inour country has been huge in recent years. To meet the trend of energy conservation and emission reductionand quantify the effect of cold chain on the environment, the life cycle assessment method was used toanalyze the carbon footprint of fruits and vegetables cold-chain in the life cycle. The results show that the ineach phase of cold chain, the carbon footprint of transportation accounts for a large proportion. As thestorage time increases, the carbon footprint of the cold chain increases.The carbon footprint of therefrigerated transport phase and pre-refrigerated storage phase accounts for 50% -70% of the total cold chain.When the transport distance is short, the storage stage is dominant, and as the transport distance increases,the carbon footprint generated also increases.
