End-to-End Cold Chain & Multi-Modal Agrologistics
From Nuwara Eliya and Dambulla packhouses to international runway aprons within 12 hours. Rapid scheduled air freight and certified maritime controlled-atmosphere reefer corridors.
The 6-Step Cold Preservation Protocol
Every shipment is engineered to stop biological respiration, minimize ethylene acceleration, and guarantee pristine sensory arrival at luxury hotel docks, supermarket hubs, and catering commissaries.
Pre-Dawn Harvest & Field Pre-Cooling
Harvesting concludes before 07:00 AM to eliminate ambient heat stress. Mobile forced-air precoolers pull pulp core temperatures down to spec (+2°C to +8°C) within 90 minutes of field separation.
Sanitary Wash & Calibrated Sorting
Automated ozonated water immersion washes eliminate fungal pathogens and biological decay without chemical residues. Multi-camera optical sorters classify produce by weight, brix level, and color index.
Blast Chilling & Ethylene Scrubbing
Consignments enter sealed blast chilling vaults. High-efficiency potassium permanganate ethylene-scrubbing sachets and perforated micro-climate MAP liner bags are inserted to halt senescence in transit.
Reefer Transit to CMB & Port Terminals
Thermo King equipped dual-evaporator refrigerated fleet units travel via the Central Expressway. Automated transfer to the Bandaranaike Cargo Cold staging bays and Colombo Port reefer staging zones.
USB & NFC Real-Time Temperature Loggers
Every master skid carries Sensitech or Libero calibrated digital loggers documenting continuous Celsius curves, shock, and relative humidity. Buyers receive instant PDF data upon landing clearance.
