Why this lane works for fresh fruits
Finland buyers on this line are typically ethnic grocery importers, vegetable wholesalers, foodservice suppliers. On the air route the consignment is 15-21 hours from Dhaka, which for a product with a shelf life of 10 to 21 days depending on the line leaves ample selling time on arrival. Supply runs year round, so a standing weekly or fortnightly booking is straightforward to hold.
