In practical work, the catering industry is rarely involved in the formulation of circulation policies, because it is actually a part of the life service industry in the usual sense. Therefore, according to official documents, the development of the circulation industry basically involves three branches, namely, wholesale, retail and logistics.

Development of circulation industry
1, the circulation industry is the blood and nerve of the reproduction process in modern society.
Planned economy determines consumption by production, while market economy determines production by consumption demand. Modern circulation industry has the important functions of meeting immediate consumption demand, developing potential consumption demand and creating future consumption demand.
Small circulation drives small production, large circulation drives large production, and modern circulation drives modern production. Modern circulation is the blood and nerve in the process of social reproduction, the carrier of the collection, integration and fusion of various production factors, and the guiding force to determine the speed, quality and efficiency of economic operation.
2. Circulation industry is the steering wheel and accelerator to guide economic restructuring.
With the rapid development of economic globalization and informatization, the market-oriented and circulation-based "supply chain" production mode has replaced the traditional decentralized and individual production mode.
It has promoted the deepening of enterprise division of labor, industrial division of labor and international division of labor, and the scale of transactions has expanded unprecedentedly. Whether it is economic structure, industrial structure or product structure, the direction, intensity and scale of its adjustment depend on market orientation. The ability of circulation to guide economic development has been further enhanced, and the circulation industry has increasingly become an important embodiment of the country's comprehensive competitiveness.
3. The circulation industry is an important carrier to protect people's livelihood and meet consumer demand.
By the end of 20 10, there were more than 24 million corporate enterprises1970,000 in China's wholesale and retail industry, including accommodation, catering and individual merchants, covering both urban and rural areas.
The "Thousands of Villages and Towns" project has achieved remarkable results, with 600,000 rural chain stores. The distribution network all over urban and rural areas has become the most important bearing force to meet the national economic development and people's material needs. At the same time, the central and local important commodity reserve and distribution networks have begun to take shape, which has played an important role in stabilizing market supply and demand, stabilizing price fluctuations and ensuring people's livelihood needs.
