Maersk’s new logistics solution is designed to grow the Russian food market through improved supply chain performance and less handling of perishable fruit.

“We see steadily growing demand from our customers for fruits and vegetables throughout the year. So, we endeavor to provide the best possible quality of fresh items in our shops across Russia. Launch a direct rail product for delivery from port of Novorossiysk to Moscow will substantially enhance availability and freshness of imported fruit on our shelves, especially when offer from local suppliers are limited by seasonal factors,” said Yulia Krymova, Director of Fruit & Vegetable department of Magnet retail chain.
