In global food logistics, temperature control isn’t optional—it’s everything. From the first mile to the last, the ability to maintain the cold chain defines product quality, shelf life, and, ultimately, profit.
At Commodity Forwarders Inc., we live and breathe the cold chain culture. Every shipment—whether it’s salmon from Alaska, berries from California, or asparagus from Mexico—depends on flawless temperature management across thousands of miles and multiple transit points.
Why Cold Chain Optimization Matters
Breaks in temperature control don’t just cause delays—they cause spoilage, safety risks, and massive waste. Here’s what’s at stake:
- 30–40% of global fresh produce is lost before it reaches the consumer
- Even a few degrees off can compromise safety certifications
- Temperature excursions lead to product rejection, insurance claims, and lost customer trust
Optimizing the cold chain means keeping that temperature range tight, consistent, and verified at every link in the logistics process.
