Recently, the fresh logistics recognizes to be created the high value-added part for logistics companies. Because the fresh logistics, which provides the system of temperature control and sanitary management, is able to be created more better high value-added products than the existed logistics system. In this research, we suggest the fresh logistics cluster for the proposal of activation in the field of food industry, which apply good activity for fresh logistics, and show the present condition and matters domestic fresh logistics market. This study did analyze the status & volume of perishable cargo which come from the imported Chinese fresh products representatively, at Incheon port and assume to build the fresh logistics cluster complex at Songdo FEZ, which is available developing and located near by Incheon port. The actual intensive study should be progressed for Korean logistics companies in order to optimize to the suitable fresh logistics system, need to set up the policy and management of statistical data concerning fresh logistics system.

Due to the changes in the distribution market, issues related to storage and distribution of agricultural, aquatic and livestock products, and storage and transportation of processed and fresh food are rapidly emerging, and as a result, Cold Chain is naturally receiving attention as one of the logistics services. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the competitiveness of location in the construction of a cold chain cluster centered on the metropolitan area, which has attracted attention in relation to the distribution of cold chains, such as recently refrigerated frozen foods. To this end, this study evaluated the competitiveness of cold chain cluster candidates in the metropolitan area by utilizing the CFPR (Consistent Fuzzy Preference Relations) method that can efficiently extract and quantify expert knowledge. As a result, the location competitiveness was found to be superior to Incheon New Port's hinterland, Gyeonggi South Area (Yongin), Gyeonggi West Area (Gimpo Logistics Complex), and Pyeongtaek Oseong Logistics Complex. In particular, this study extracted the knowledge of refrigerated and refrigerated logistics warehouse operation experts, and conducted detailed competitiveness assessments for cold chain cluster candidates in the metropolitan area, and suggested the optimal cluster candidates. In the future research, it is necessary to classify the questionnaire into the owner, large business group, and public business group, etc., who have the right to purchase and build to secure ownership of the fresh food distribution center.
