All that matters in perishable logistics is time and freshness. Constant temperature keeps the good care of perishables while air cargo transports them around the world. Reji John …
After four months of reasonably satisfactory growth, the month of May brought only limited increases in air cargo volumes. Worldwide year on year growth was a meager 1.8 percent, fueling suspicions that air cargo may have to face some adverse market conditions once again. Worldwide yield (in USD) was down by two percent compared to April.
The growth in May came specifically from Africa and the Middle East & South Asia (MESA), with year on year increases of eight percent and 5.5 percent respectively. MESA was also the fastest growing destination. Interestingly, the Americas did best when it comes to yield comparisons with May 2014.
As has been the case for a while, perishables and pharmaceuticals were the engines of growth again, the former playing a much larger role than the latter in terms of volumes. Worldwide growth in May was completely driven by these two categories with growth figures of seven percent and 13 percent. In other parts of the world, Australia, India, Norway and the Netherlands did best in terms of perishable volume growth year on year.
Whether it is the blueberries of Argentina, asparagus of Peru, cherries and salmons of Chile or the flowers of Columbia and Kenya, air cargo has made valuable contributions to making these industries grow bigger in scale and revenue.
In perishable logistics, time is of the essence to ensure produce, flowers, fish, and other products reach their destinations while they still offer maximum appeal and shelf life. As a result, many of these goods move via air. Think about perishable logistics in the context of rapidly changing consumer behavior and technology adoption in human life.
