Introduction
The basic requirements during transportation are better control of temperature, humidity and adequate ventilation. In addition, the produce should be immobilized by proper packaging and stacking, to avoid excessive movement or vibration. Vibration and impact during transportation may cause severe bruising or other mechanical injury. Refrigerated containers and trailers are more often used for long distance shipping, whether by sea, rail or truck. Shipping by refrigerated trucks is not only convenient, but also effective in preserving the quality of product. However, both the initial investment and the operating costs are very high. Another possibility is insulated or ventilated trailer trucks.
