Transportation of food products is an important link in the supply chain from producer to consumer, which requires strict compliance with many transportation parameters, including temperature and humidity conditions, as well as delivery times. Compliance with all standards for the transportation of food products allows you to maintain their quality, and well-planned logistics prevents losses and delays during transportation. A professional approach to route optimization and selection of the appropriate type of transport allows you to effectively use resources and reduce the cost of transporting food products.

Features of food transportation

In order to maintain quality and safety, transportation of perishable products requires compliance with strict regulations. Among the recommendations that should be followed during transportation:

Correct packaging. It is necessary to use thermal insulation packaging (thermocontainers, thermal bags) for the transportation of food products to prevent air and contamination, as well as dry ice or gel cooling elements to maintain the required temperature.
Use of serviceable refrigeration equipment that maintains a stable temperature during the transportation of food products, such as refrigerators or vans with refrigeration units, temperature sensors to monitor the temperature throughout the entire journey.
Compliance with the temperature regime when sending food products by a transport company – for fruits and vegetables usually +4–8 °C, dairy products, meat, fish and semi-finished products 0–4 °C, frozen products – not higher than -18 °C.
Planning routes to minimize the time of transportation of products.
Preventing contact of products during transportation, especially cooked and raw ones.
Preparation of quality certificates, veterinary certificates (for meat and fish).

Transportation of liquid food products has its own characteristics. Thus, milk, juices and other food liquids must be transported in compliance with a number of rules. Transportation of food products by road, in particular milk and dairy products in large volumes, is carried out in stainless steel tanks with insulation, and small ones – in plastic bottles, bags, tetrapaks at a temperature of +1 … +4 °C.
Transport companies for the transportation of food products usually transport juices and drinks also in tetrapaks, glass and plastic bottles, and concentrates and syrups – in special barrels or canisters. Pasteurized juices can be transported at a temperature of +4 … +25 °C, chilled juices and nectars require a temperature of +2 … +6 °C. Cargo transportation of food products, such as milk and chilled juices, is carried out in refrigerators, tanks, and packaged drinks that do not require strict temperature conditions – in trucks with waterproofing.

Types of cargo transportation for food products

Import and export of food products is a complex process that includes not only logistical and financial aspects, but also requires compliance with numerous regulatory requirements, sanitary standards, as well as certification and licensing issues. When shipping food products internationally, it is important to consider:

international and national standards with compliance with quality standards and certification according to ISO, Codex Alimentarius, FDA, EU standards, registration of phytosanitary and veterinary certificates, labeling (including in the language of the recipient country);
the need to pay customs duties and taxes when transporting food products by a transport company, the possibility of having quotas for the import of certain categories of products;
conditions for the transportation of products – compliance with the temperature regime, the presence of packaging that meets the sanitary requirements of the destination country;
compliance with expiration dates during cargo transportation of food products, especially frozen or chilled ones.

Domestic transportation requires no less attention. The logistics of transporting food products in Ukraine for delivery to stores, restaurants and factories requires careful consideration. Logistics solutions should take into account the appropriate type of transport, the road situation, and the possibility of maintaining temperature conditions.

In order for the cargo to arrive at its destination on time, intact and undamaged, you need to choose a suitable transport company for transporting food products. When choosing, rely on the carrier’s experience in this area, reasonable prices, and fulfillment of the terms of cooperation.
