Perishables vs Cold Chain

What is Perishable Freight?

Perishable goods, like fresh produce, dairy, seafood, flowers and pharmaceuticals, have a limited shelf life and require specialised transportation to maintain quality. To transport them globally, you need a logistics provider skilled in navigating the cold chain, ensuring proper storage, transit, temperature control and compliance with regulations. This process is essential for preserving quality and extending the shelf life of perishable items.

What is Cold Chain?

The cold chain process maintains freight at a constant temperature from source to destination, crucial for handling perishable goods. Timing and temperature are vital when transporting fresh produce, typically stored and transported between -1.5ºC and +4ºC, while frozen goods are kept at -18ºC or below, extending shelf life and simplifying transportation.
