Summer and the increase in seafood consumption: practical solutions for logistics and storage

Summer is synonymous with high temperatures, vacations, and lighter meals, such as fish and seafood. The increase in seafood consumption during this period is driven primarily by consumers' appreciation for aquatic-derived proteins, who value the characteristic flavor and sense of freshness provided by fish.

In Brazil, seafood consumption has increased in recent years. In 1960, per capita consumption was 9.9 kg, rising to 11.5 kg in 1970, and reaching 20.2 kg in 2020. Over the past 15 years, seafood consumption has increased by about 60%, going from 3.5 kilograms to 10 kilograms per inhabitant/year. The data comes from the Fisheries Institute (IP-Apta) of the State of São Paulo.

This high demand, however, brings major challenges for the logistics and storage of these products, requiring solutions that guarantee quality, safety, and efficiency.

The logistics challenge for seafood in the summer

Products such as fish, poultry cuts, and seafood are extremely perishable and sensitive to transport and storage conditions. The high temperatures typical of summer can accelerate deterioration processes, impacting quality and food safety. 

In this context, choosing appropriate crates is crucial to preserving food freshness and optimizing the logistics flow.

Additionally, operations must meet strict hygiene and handling regulations, especially during periods of higher movement, such as the summer peak season.
