An Giang post-harvest: New race of transportation and packaging industry

This is not just a technical problem. It is a race for survival of An Giang agricultural products in the domestic and export markets – where professional transportation and packaging services are becoming vital factors .

Post-harvest problem: Harvesting is not the end

The biggest problem of many cooperatives and agricultural enterprises in An Giang is that the post-harvest stage has not been standardized . Even if the product meets export standards, if it is poorly preserved, transported late or packaged carelessly, the quality will decrease significantly.

Especially with items like:

• Fresh fruits and vegetables – perishable without refrigerated trucks or express shipping.
  
• Seafood – requires strict storage temperature.
  
• Rice, dried agricultural products – need to be properly packaged, moisture-proof, and mold-proof.

Just one broken link – from packaging to transportation – and the risk of economic loss is clear.

Packaging and transportation: An inseparable duo

Contrary to the previous notion that “as long as the goods arrive, it is enough”, today, agricultural enterprises in An Giang are beginning to understand that packaging and means of transportation are part of the product value .

• Standard packaging helps protect goods, increase visual value and extend shelf life.
  
• Appropriate transportation helps goods reach buyers quickly - safely - cost-effectively .

For example, many units in Chau Phu, Cho Moi, Tinh Bien have switched from transporting goods by rudimentary vehicles to renting specialized trucks in An Giang - ensuring speed and good control of temperature and humidity, helping agricultural products maintain their quality during delivery.

Total Transport Solutions: From Refrigerated Trucks to Cargo Insurance

Some transportation businesses such as Thanh Phat Southern Transportation have been implementing comprehensive transportation solutions for agricultural businesses, including:

• Fleet of vehicles from 1 to 30 tons, refrigerated trucks - tarpaulin trucks - closed trucks to meet diverse cargo needs.
  
• Packing – loading – lifting services at warehouses , specialized for each type of product.
  
• Consulting on choosing suitable packaging (shrink film, PE bag, carton box, PP bag, pallet...).
  
• Cargo and vehicle insurance , to protect against risks during long journeys or unpredictable weather.

With the motto "Safety of goods - Optimization of operations - Flexible prices" , renting trucks in An Giang at Thanh Phat is becoming a reliable choice for many An Giang businesses during and after the crop season.

What does An Giang need in the post-harvest race?

Professional logistics thinking

Cooperatives and small businesses in An Giang are gradually shifting from the mindset of "sending vehicles to acquaintances" to cooperating with professional transport units , with contracts, route tracking, and clear cargo insurance.

Be proactive in packaging and storage

Businesses should invest in suitable packaging, even outsource packaging services if they do not have enough human resources and experience - because this is an investment to avoid losses many times over later.

Choose a reputable transportation partner that supports multiple services

Not just simply transporting goods, units like Thanh Phat Transport also support from AZ: from warehouse survey, packaging consultation to real-time order tracking. This helps businesses save on human resources, time, and operating costs.

Great opportunity for An Giang: From clean agricultural products to international brands

An Giang has great advantages in biodiversity, climate suitable for fruit trees, rice, freshwater aquaculture, plus an experienced agricultural workforce. The quality of An Giang agricultural products is gradually being affirmed not only domestically but also in the international market. However, to go far, it needs professional transportation and packaging infrastructure.

In order for clean agricultural products to become internationally branded products, it is essential to upgrade the transportation and packaging chain. Professionalizing transportation is no longer an "additional expense", but a mandatory investment for An Giang products to be able to participate in the global supply chain, especially in demanding markets such as the EU, Japan, and Korea.

In reality, many export orders are rejected not because the products are not of good quality, but because of damaged packaging, incorrect storage temperature, or delivery time not as promised. These are risks that only a professional transport partner with experience in the agricultural sector like Thanh Phat Transport can completely resolve.
