| Summary: | A refrigeration-equipped truck transports fruits and vegetables
in standardized plastic crates. The efficient operation of cool
transportation also needs a logistical support system. Cool
transportation can preserve the quality of fruits and vegetables
when transporting them in distance from production sites, typically
in the northern regions, to large demand centers in the southern
regions. Post-harvest losses in quality and quantity are reduced to
a minimum to benefit producers and consumers, often spatially
distanced. Preserving product quality is expected to increase
incentives to enhance product quality |
