One of the top importers of fresh fruit into India, IG International, has established a partnership with the food and perishable logistics expert company Foodcareplus Logistics, based in Europe. When these two things come together, one of the most reliable and adaptable platforms for delivering fresh fruit from Europe to India will be created. A few thousand tonnes would be managed within the transit points from Europe to India under this partnership.
Through the partnership, Foodcareplus will be able to increase its market share in the reefer fresh produce trade into India. IG Logistics would also have the chance to share its infrastructure with Foodcareplus's European clientele at the same time. The project seeks to increase the transparency and dependability of the fresh produce supply chain.
The relationship was made public in response to a market trend that Fresh Intelligence identified at the Asia Fruit Congress in Bangkok in early November. The region with the fastest rise in imports into Asia, including India, was Europe, up 35% in the previous year. Top fruit, including apples and pears, one of IG's core product categories, contributed to the rise. The top fruit logistics service provider for global markets is Foodcareplus in Europe.
With the help of Foodcareplus Logistics' integrated support model, IG Logistics will be able to easily connect with the fresh produce growers in Europe with just a few clicks thanks to a seamless integration with their transport and shipping network. Importers must be more adaptable due to the unstable shipping industry caused by port congestion, rising fuel prices, and a labour scarcity. To keep the fruit moving, Foodcareplus Logistics will transport fresh food across international boundaries via a number of port gateways. Their use of blockchain will support this technologically advanced alliance, which will employ Dockflow for every shipment to give all stakeholders constant visibility.
Ms. Shubha Rawal, Director for Sourcing and Marketing at IG International, expressed her opinions on this strategic partnership with Foodcareplus, stating that "European fruit types have always made it to the top echelon of fruits in terms of quality, aesthetics, and taste. We are happy to collaborate with a reputable business like Foodcareplus and welcome European delicacies from the finest plantations and orchards. This collaboration would enable us to effectively provide a door-to-door service to Indian customers.
"This partnership would enable us to grow our business in India's vibrant market. Our collaboration with IG Logistics would build an innovative platform for European exporters and result in a more durable supply chain. Additionally, the platform will make it possible for Indian wholesalers and retailers that deal in fresh produce to use IG's network to get the ideal product at the ideal time and price”, said Mr. Steve Alaerts from Foodcareplus Logistics.
