What would be the best transportation mode for the following: Frozen vegetables Give reasons in support of your answer.

Answer & Explanation:

Frozen vegetables are perishable commodities and daily consumable items. The distributor has to drop the packets at the door steps of each vender. Hence the best suggested transport mode would be Road (Truck). Further, road is a frequently used transportation mode of the transportation companies. This mode facilitates scheduled delivery, days and next day delivery services, etc. Goods are packed or grouped in box vans or in containers. Few other advantages for using this mode in transportation of frozen vegetables are- cost effectiveness, faster delivery, ideal for short distances, refrigerated vans can be easily used for transportation, easy to monitor location of goods, etc. If the goods are to be traded internationally, for frozen vegetables, the best mode of transport will be air transportation.
