Sea freight and air-freight are the modes of transportation used for shipping Philippines pineapples. Sea freight is the most common mode used since it is less expensive. The document preparation and regulation process are almost the same for both methods.

Sea freight is the most common mode of transportation used for shipping. The main ports of exit are Davao International Container Terminal and Cagayan de Oro container port. 


Sea:

Pros: Less expensive

Cons: Long transit times aggravated by port congestion and delays


Air-freight: (not common)

Pros: Shorter transit time and fresher fruit conditions

Cons: Very expensive


Document preparation and regulation process are almost the same for both methods. Airfreight from Davao will need to be sent to Cebu as there is no direct flight out of Davao. A common trans-shipment point is Taiwan.
