supply chain management of key mineral resources is an important part of modern logistics. as an efficient, reliable and safe mode of transportation, air freight plays an irreplaceable role in the world. it can quickly transport goods from one place to another, especially in terms of short transportation time and variety of goods.
the advantages of air cargo transportation are its speed, flexibility, safety and customizable services. it can meet various transportation needs, especially playing an important role in transporting heavy goods and fragile items. however, air transportation also has some limitations, such as high cost, limited space and route restrictions. as china's control over key mineral resources is increasing, the us government is actively seeking diversified solutions to reduce its dependence on china's key minerals and ensure the continuity of its domestic supply.
for example, scholars from the u.s. geological survey visited the sangdong tungsten mine in south korea to assess the feasibility of its resumption of production, which shows the united states' efforts in exploring new sources of tungsten supply. at the same time, considering that china may impose export controls on other key minerals such as antimony, it further strengthens the urgency of finding alternative sources.
air transport cargo not only needs to improve efficiency and reliability to adapt to this new global trade dynamic, but also needs to be flexible to respond to the logistics challenges brought about by changes in resource supply. as the global economy continues to develop, supply chain management of critical mineral resources will become increasingly important.
