- Temperature Control (Cold Chain): Maintaining precise temperatures is non-negotiable for items like fresh produce, dairy and frozen goods. Any deviation can lead to spoilage and significant losses.
- Strict Regulations: Food imports and exports are subject to rigorous health, safety and labeling standards, varying by country. Navigating customs clearances requires expert knowledge.
- Time Sensitivity: Perishable goods have a limited shelf life, making fast freight delivery and efficient logistics transportation critical.
- Hygiene and Safety: Preventing contamination throughout the entire cargo transport journey is paramount.
