Living through the 2020 pandemic has once again proven one thing: fresh fruits, vegetables, frozen foods are essential commodities and moving them to where they are needed is vital.

As people increasingly prefer to eat at home, choose local produce more and buy perishables online, refrigerated transport companies are looking for ways to adapt and meet this demand in a more dynamic manner. To do this, they need to make real-time decisions with fast access to intelligent data. Logistics companies connect people, processes and data; and, most importantly, provide visibility of perishable goods at all stages of cargo transportation.

When it comes to transporting perishable products such as fruits and vegetables, conventional shipping methods don’t always work. How can you ensure fast international delivery of fresh exotic fruits and vegetables? By offering dedicated service and the best technology for shipping fruits and vegetables by airfreight, M&M Ukraine ensures that growers around the world can be confident that their produce will be fresh when it reaches its destination.
Our staff understands that our customers’ products need the utmost care. That is why we do our best to ensure that sensitive shipments are not affected by factors such as temperature fluctuations, dust, rain and snow.

Temperature controlled delivery

Perishable fruits and vegetables are delivered under controlled temperature conditions. The presence of stable temperature conditions is a fundamental factor in the delivery of fruits and vegetables, as it significantly extends the shelf life of perishable products. Proper use of refrigerators and freezers will prevent any spoilage caused by external influences. M&M Ukraine offers a wide range of temperature solutions to meet the needs of each client.
Transportation of vegetables, fruits, and other perishable products requires maintaining a special temperature regime for the entire period of delivery. Delivery of perishable goods is carried out by several types of freight transport, for example, air transport, sea container transport and refrigerated vehicles. The car refrigerator allows you to maintain the temperature in the range from -20C ° to + 20C °, regardless of the ambient temperature

The longer it takes to deliver a perishable item, the more likely it is to degrade in quality. That is why M&M Ukraine gives the highest priority when shipping fruits, vegetables and other perishable goods. 24/7 temperature control ensures that fruit and vegetables are in the perfect environment from dispatch to arrival.

M&M Ukraine allows customers to track the transportation of perishable goods anytime and anywhere.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of tons of vegetables and fruits are transported to Ukraine from around the world. Shippers need to strictly follow the rules of carriage and cargo compatibility.International and domestic transportation of fruits and vegetables can be divided into the same type (transportation of goods of only one name) and mixed (different types of vegetables and fruits). Transportation of fruits and vegetables is carried out in vehicles equipped with refrigerators and thermographs. In winter, the refrigerator warms up vegetables and fruits, protecting them from freezing, and cools them down in summer. The optimum temperature for transporting fruits and vegetables ranges from +5 to +10 degrees. In addition, shippers should not forget that all fruits release ethylene, which has an impact on fruits and vegetables. So, under the influence of this gas, fruits ripen faster. Fruits that actively release ethylene are transported separately, for example, bananas are transported separately. Joint transportation in one vehicle of compatible types of perishable products for which the same temperature regime is set is allowed.
