Refrigerated boost
India’s digital freight logistics business has announced a boost for shippers with the launch of refrigerated (reefer) cargo
services across the globe. Customers can now compare rates and book reefer containers through a host of partner shipping lines
on the Cogoport e-freight booking platform. Refrigerated exports from India grew by 27 per cent in 2018, with shrimp the principal
seafood export, growing by 20 per cent, with demand for seafood and Indian organic food driven from the North America, Europe,
Saudi Arabia, Israel and Vietnam. The export of onions also rose by 15 per cent year-on-year in 2018 over 2017.
