Cold Chain Shipping for Fresh Produce Exports

Cold-chain shipping protects fresh produce quality from packhouse to buyer. Exporters and buyers should align harvest timing, pre-cooling, packaging, handover, temperature settings, and transit expectations before shipment.

A good RFQ should ask for logistics readiness, packhouse process, shipment method, documents, and whether the supplier can support FOB, CIF, air freight, or reefer container terms.
