Perishable foods are characterized by their rapid decomposition. These are usually organic foods, which should be eaten quickly, such as meat, fruits, and some vegetables. For this reason, the transport of this type of food for export and marketing is not always viable by land or waterway. These foods spoil in no time. This is why air transport is of great importance for this type of food. Although slightly more expensive, air transport is capable of transporting food faster to reduce the difference between harvesting / production time and final consumption.
