China Securities Journal citing the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said major logistics companies in China posted a 7.4%YoY growth in operating profit during the first four months of 2012 with the growth rate down 5.8 percentage points from the first quarter.
Warehousing logistics companies recorded a 13.4%YoY rise in operating profit while transportation logistics companies posted a 7.9% increase in operating profit. Road freight companies recorded a 31.1%YoY fall in operating profit.
