Fresh Plaza: "Since the Asian market is becoming more and more important for our exports from South
America, we have, with the KN in-transit center in Miami, the option to offer our clients an excellent product to Asian destinations. The KN in-transit center is fully facilitated and equipped to handle in transit perishables and holds sufficient space with the main Asia carriers on direct flights from Miami," states Ben Radema, Director Airfreight of Kuehne+Nagel Peru. In the framework of the intensive expansion of its network of perishables outstations, Kuehne+Nagel is now offering full airfreight services at Miami International Airport Cargo City. Establishing this new branch in Miami, traditionally the main point of entry for perishables from Latin America into the USA and a main point of transit for these flows to other parts of the world, fits into the company’s worldwide perishables development strategy. It enables KN to expand its 
Fresh Chain service for their USA based customers by shipping from various Latin American origins to door USA. In addition, it provides more options and flexibility to their customers who see an expanded reach for their products to worldwide destinations, while maintaining full control over the cold chain. Recent successes were booked with fresh fruit coming from Chile in transit to Asian markets, where Kuehne+Nagel Miami 
was able to avoid long transit times, which usually occur when interline routing is used. "With worldwide markets demanding more fresh products, Miami is a logical and strategic location both for our growth as well as for improved cold chain management" says Raul Villavicencio, KN Miami-Perishables Manager.
