The logistics of perishables is significantly different than that of dry freight, especially as pertains to the seaborne movement of refrigerated containers, better known as reefers. As with dry containers, the reefer business experienced some “headwinds” early in the year. There were plenty of reasons for the early slowdown in reefers — almost an inevitability coming out of a lackluster 2022. But no less an authority than Drewry’s in their May market report noted they are expecting reefer “volumes to increase by 2.1%” globally.

For years, careers in supply chain and logistics too often were overlooked among those preparing to enter the workforce, and the educational curriculum of many colleges did not prioritize a logistics career path for their students. That is changing.

Supply chains used to be viewed “in the background,” but the pandemic raised the awareness of their importance and made them a priority in C-suites, says Steve Blust, president of the Containerization & Intermodal Institute.

It is estimated that 1.3 billion metric tons of food are lost or wasted annually, translating to a financial loss of $1 trillion (USD) annually. And without significant changes, this problem is expected to grow to 2.1 billion metric tons and $1.5 trillion (USD) by 2030.

Staggering as these numbers might be, they do not consider the hidden costs of food production, including labor, storage and salvage or the expenses related to customer dissatisfaction, lost opportunities and inventory/stocking level imprecision.
