In the Philippines, a new player in the shipping industry is negotiating with major corporate exporters for Japanese and Korean markets, which will be a great addition to the fresh produce supply chain needs, especially for pineapples. There are some issues of delayed container arrivals in some ports due to trans-shipment hub issues of some shipping lines. The answer to major issues in Pineapple shipments may be available soon for the Davao – Japan – Korea route by using a reefer ship instead of containers. This time, it will be a more efficient delivery to at least two ports in both Japan and Korea destinations. The main focus at the moment is the rates per ton of Fresh Fruits compared to the rates offered by container shipping lines.
