Bananas and pineapples
Specialised care for unique perishables.
Cold chain solutions for peak freshness
Global demand for bananas and pineapples is high all year round. Therefore, constant production lines need to be supported by logistics that maintains an unbroken cold chain.
But just as importantly, the unique traits of these staple fruits deserve to be understood. Your logistics must also ensure that the precise conditions needed to preserve their quality are followed. That they arrive right on time to be consumed in destination markets far away from farms.
Over the years, our experts have designed unique cold chains for bananas and pineapples to arrive at their destinations in peak condition. Assisted by our StarCareTM and StarRipeTM containers and Remote Container Management technologies, your fruits can travel further and reach bigger markets than ever before.
Key factors to consider when handling bananas and pineapples
- Quality of fruit: The short shelf life of the produce means speed to market and consistent delivery is essential.
- Equipment: An unbroken cold chain that assures availability of space and equipment and a shortened ocean route that delivers on time.
- Visibility: Enhanced cargo security, preventing contamination, and providing end-to-end tracking of cargo movement.
- Ease of business: Dedicated customer service from a single logistics provider providing comprehensive solutions from start to finish for seamless operations.
