Latina’s fresh-produce exporters look for shared cold-chain routes

For a fresh-produce company in the Pontine plain, the hardest part of exporting is often not finding a buyer but getting the product there in perfect condition. Refrigerated transport is expensive when a company ships a few pallets at a time.

That is why sample members such as Fondi Ortofrutta Export are looking for partners to share routes: combining loads with other producers and working with a logistics operator that can consolidate shipments.

How companies are using the platform

The approach is simple: publish the need as a business opportunity, use matchmaking to find logistics operators and other exporters, then move the conversation into a shared project with partners, tasks and documents.

For smaller companies the advantage is clear — they can test a new market without committing to a dedicated supply chain on day one.
