The demand for fresh goods, including exotic fruits, to crisp produce, and fresh cut flowers, is growing. Swiss WorldCargo aims to exceed consumer expectations by ensuring unmatched freshness and quality during airfreight transport.
Transporting perishables demands more than speed, namely temperature and high-quality processes. Swiss WorldCargo ensures precise, timely transport of items like fresh fruits, meats, and flowers, which are sensitive to spoilage and decay due to their limited lifespan and environmental sensitivities.
Approximately 30-40% of global food is wasted during transit,due to poor logistics, costing the global economy $940 billion. Swiss WorldCargo invests in high-quality processes, ensuring safe perishable transportation, and contributing to reduce global food waste.
The science of freshness
External factors significantly impact perishable goods' quality and shelf life. Understanding these factors is vital for effective management. Key factors include:
- Humidity – insufficient or excessive moisture, can cause dehydration or mold.
- Exposure to light – Can deteriorate light-sensitive perishables like certain diary products.
- Temperature fluctuations – Impact microbial growth and can speed up decay process.
- Proximity to other produce – Some fruits emit ethylene gas, that can accelerate ripening of nearby fruits or vegetables.
- Air circulation – Can lead to uneven temperature conditions, negatively affect goods' quality.
By acknowledging these external factors and mitigating their impact, Swiss WorldCargo offers a service beyond simple transportation, delivering perishables as fresh and high-quality as they were at their origin.
