The Truth about the Exorbitant Profits of Imported Popsicle Agency

The midsummer sun is baking the earth. Biting into a Nordic - flavored raspberry sorbet or a Southeast Asian - style coconut milk popsicle in an air - conditioned room, you seem to be instantly transported to a foreign beach - this "global travel on the tip of the tongue" is making imported popsicles the hottest summer - cooling item this year. But behind this sweet business opportunity, every link from product selection and procurement to cold - chain transportation is full of hidden mysteries.

According to some cross - border cold - chain data, the market size of imported popsicles in 2023 increased by 67% year - on - year. Among them, Italian handmade Gelato and Japanese Uji matcha series are the most sought - after. Mr. Zhang, who represents a Nordic brand, saw his monthly sales exceed 800,000 yuan through grass - planting on Xiaohongshu: "Consumers are willing to pay a 3 - 5 - fold premium for unique flavors and Instagram - style packaging."

• Product Selection Minefield: Middle - Eastern saffron popsicles were detained by the customs due to the controversy over the homology of medicine and food
• Logistics Cost: The cold - chain transportation cost at minus 25°C is 40% higher than that of ordinary goods
• Seasonal Fluctuation: Agents in North China switched to selling imported hot chocolate in winter to maintain cash flow

Ms. Li once lost 200,000 yuan worth of goods due to temperature - control failures in her warehouse. Now she adopts the "three - stage cold - chain" plan: direct pickup from the port cold storage → refrigerated box trucks → liquid nitrogen cabinets in the pre - warehouse. And product selection experts suggest paying attention to:

• Southeast Asian tropical fruit series (with strong palatability)
• Low - sugar and high - protein functional popsicles (for fitness people)
• Mini sharing packs (suitable for the single - economy)

The person in charge of Zhongshitong Supply Chain revealed that mature agents have started reverse - customizing exclusive flavors, such as the mango pomelo sago with Belgian chocolate shell developed for the domestic market. A live - streaming room sold 100,000 items from an Italian century - old store by deconstructing the cultural stories of popsicles.

When you pick up an imported popsicle in a convenience store, it may have crossed 12 time zones and undergone 6 temperature - control inspections.
