How Cargo Community System Facilitates Perishables Handling through Air Cargo?

Transportation of perishables date back to 1556 when reportedly the Ottoman Empire was actively exporting Tulip bulbs, Potatoes, Tomatoes and other vegetables were to the European countries. In logistical terms, any vegetable with high water content needs extra care i.e., sensitivity in handling as they were transported through ships those days. On the other hand, vegetables like Potato needed a dry condition to be stored. Due to this special handling requirements, cost of these commodities skyrocketed during those days and the Dutch countrymen began cultivating these crops at their own lands, which later on came to be known as the Dutch Golden Age.
