An analysis of the influence of logistics activities on the export cold chain of temperature sensitive fruit through the Port of Cape Town

Abstract: Background: South Africa exports a large variety of different fruit types and cultivars worldwide. Yet, there is concern in the South African fruit industry that too much fruit and money is lost each year due to breaks along the fresh fruit export cold chain.Objective: The objective of this article was to identify the influence of logistics activities on breaks along the South African fruit export cold chain. The focus is specifically on temperature sensitive fruit, exported in refrigerated containers to Europ… Show more

“…An agreement was reached that allows a deviation for a maximum duration within a specified narrow range. The generally accepted definition of a cold-chain temperature break along a South African deciduous fruit export cold chain is therefore, 'every instance in which the temperature readings are 2 °C higher or lower than the required carrying temperature for longer than 90 min' (FPEF 2016:105;Freiboth et al 2013;Goedhals-Gerber et al 2015). The precise definition used in this article, however, is each instance where the temperature is 2 °C or higher, or -1.5 °C or colder for longer than 90 min.…”
