Cold chain is part of market entry.
Shelf life, packaging, handling points, customs time, shipment volume, storage and local refrigerated distribution affect whether the commercial route works.
From factory to customer.
Start small.
Samples → first pallet → mixed refrigerated shipment → regular consolidated shipment → local stock → regional distribution.
Landed cost.
Product, collection, consolidation, freight, customs, duties, storage, local refrigerated delivery, losses and working capital determine whether the product remains competitive.
Multi-supplier cold consolidation.
Where operationally feasible, several chilled or frozen suppliers can be coordinated into one commercial route for an importer or distributor.
Our role.
FoodStarter is not a refrigerated freight forwarder. We coordinate the product, market, importer, route, temperature, volume and economics, then bring in logistics providers.
