Fresh produce

Leafy fresh produce covers lettuces, herbs, tender greens and sprouts destined for retail, food service and the ready-meal industry.

It has the shortest commercial window among perishable cargo, losing quality within days. Water loss is the main mechanism: leaves wilt when ambient humidity drops and excess humidity encourages decay, which makes the balance between temperature, humidity and ventilation an especially delicate adjustment.

AVM Cargo reviews the cargo information, such as shelf life, indicated temperature, humidity and ventilation, coordinates the partners involved, follows the shipment and keeps the client informed throughout the process. Each operation is assessed individually according to the characteristics of the goods, origin, destination and shipping conditions, and our team advises on the information needed to make the quotation and the operation viable.
