By sea
* Container ships: Kiwis are often transported by container ship, especially for long distances. Container ships are large vessels that can carry thousands of containers, each of which can hold several tons of kiwis.
* Reefer ships: Reefer ships are specialized ships that are designed to transport perishable goods, such as kiwis. Reefer ships have temperature-controlled holds that can keep the kiwis fresh during the journey.
By air
* Air cargo: Kiwis are also transported by air cargo, especially for shorter distances or when speed is important. Air cargo is typically more expensive than sea freight, but it can be necessary to ensure that the kiwis arrive fresh.
By land
* Trucks: Kiwis are also transported by truck, especially for shorter distances or when the destination is not accessible by sea or air. Trucks can be refrigerated to keep the kiwis fresh during the journey.
Packing and storage
* Kiwis are typically packed in cardboard boxes or crates. The boxes are often lined with plastic or foam to protect the kiwis from damage.
* Kiwis are stored in cool, dry conditions to keep them fresh. The ideal temperature for storing kiwis is between 32°F and 41°F.
* Kiwis can be stored for up to 6 months in cool storage.
