Because of the proximity to the Northern Adriatic ports, the Mediterranean countries represent the most interesting market as they export large quantities of fruits and vegetables to EU. The Northern Adriatic ports are thus facing a new challenge – how to increase the throughput of highly perishable goods? One of the solutions is the organization of new distribution system with the setup of so called “cold platform” in the port’s hinterland.
