Industry Issue Paper: Refrigerated Food Transport from Canada to Mexico: Cold Chain Challenges

Barry Prentice and Ron McLachlin

Journal of the Transportation Research Forum, 2008, vol. 47, issue 2

Abstract: Qualitative research methods are used to examine the status of the “cold chain,” which serves the Mexican market for Canadian food products. A brief synopsis of Canadian food exports to Mexico is presented to establish the demand for refrigerated transport. Subsequently, the supply of refrigerated transport is considered in terms of modal choice and routes from Canada to Mexico. This is followed by a narrative of cold chain challenges identified by industry respondents. The conclusion points to some policy issues for consideration.
