• Humidity and temperature requirements;
• Best before date;
• Starting and ending point of delivery.

Transportation of perishable goods by various modes of transport

Usually used to deliver goods to retail outlets, as well as from suppliers of raw materials to production facilities, and then finished products to the recipient. Optimal is the use within the country, as well as to neighboring countries and the EU. It is rational to use it for short and medium distances, including for organizing international transportation by refrigerators. For this, cars of well-known brands with a carrying capacity of 2-20 tons are used.
2. Railway. Allows you to transport large volumes of perishable products over long distances. The advantages of this option are the relatively low cost, and the speed of delivery according to the schedule. Among the minuses, one can note a long and rather complicated process of paperwork, not everywhere it is possible to deliver the goods by railway refrigerated cars, and if delivery is carried out to European countries, then it still takes time to replace the wheelsets or reload the goods.
3. Nautical. It can be used to move most types of products, subject to the required temperature conditions. But here it should be borne in mind that the delivery speed is relatively low. This is especially true for distant countries (China, Japan, the states of South and North America, Australia, New Zealand and some others). Therefore, this option may not be suitable for goods with a very limited shelf life and sale. Among the advantages - this is the most affordable way of cargo transportation, and is often used in multimodal cargo transportation.
