Shipping containers can be classified into one of the three main categories: dairy containers, reefer containers, and tank containers.
While dry containers and tank containers were popular choices earlier on, for dairy products- reefer containers are fast becoming the most popular choice. The major reason is the fact that reefer containers are temperature controlled & dairy products are perishable commodities. Dry containers are still the most commonly used containers and are used in the transportation of bulk cargo, whereas reefer containers are used for transporting perishables such as fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, among others.
Dairy often require cool facilities and are stored around 55°F a need which is met by reefer containers for dairy products. Less number of organized 3PLsectormeans that as much as 75 percent of truck owners have a fleet of less than 5 vehicles. Crystal Group is one of the very few 3PL supply chain players in the country, who have a pan India network of cold-stores which are connected by a very large fleet of reefer vehicles. The Government of India is one of the driving forces in developing the cold-chain industry and supports private participation through various subsidy schemes and grants. The exact structure of each cold chain varies significantly depending on product and customer requirements; however, the underlying objective of an efficient cold chain system is to safely transport temperature-sensitive products in such a way that it minimises wastage, maintains the quality and characteristics of the product and limits external or internal contamination. This is a big relief in terms of tax exemption to the cold chain operators as this facility was only available to the farmers at farm gate but not to the cold chain operators.
Many local dairy brands have upgraded to national status (emerging as preferred brands delivering premium quality dairy products) with the help of temperature controlled transportation. Reefer vehicles play a major role in their day-to-day operation to transport our products from our facility to various distributor points.
