Maintaining Freshness — Cold Chain Management for Fresh Produce Exports

Introduction
In fresh produce exports, temperature control decides shelf life, quality, and market value. A well-designed cold chain protects fruits and vegetables from harvest to the importer’s warehouse, minimizing spoilage and claims.

Why Cold Chain Management Matters

  • Field heat removal – rapid pre-cooling preserves texture, color, and nutrients.

  • Continuous temperature monitoring – data loggers ensure set points are maintained across every handover.

  • Right packaging & airflow – vented cartons and pallet patterns support uniform cooling and humidity control.

Challenges in Fresh Produce Logistics
Exporters face risks such as delayed pre-cooling, mixed loads with different set points, port congestion, and temperature excursions during trans-shipment—each can accelerate respiration and decay.

Our Commitment
YA Corporation Co., Ltd. partners with certified cold-chain providers, applies commodity-specific set points (e.g., 0–1 °C durian, 12–13 °C bananas), and uses data logging for every shipment to verify integrity.

Conclusion
A disciplined cold chain protects freshness, extends shelf life, and safeguards profitability in overseas markets.
