Transporters

Transportation services are essential in the produce industry at every stage from harvest through the distribution channel and eventually to the retailer or, in e-commerce, directly to the consumer. Therefore, according to the type of product, its age and the duration of the transport, transporters must determine the most appropriate means of transport (ground, sea or air) and transport package (refrigerated containers, rail carloads, break bulk, palletized, and bulk). The means of transport should be cost effective and protect and deliver the produce to its destination in marketable condition with the least possible impact on its quality and shelf life.
