Why this lane works for fresh vegetables

On the air route the consignment is 15-21 hours from Dhaka, which for a product with a shelf life of 7 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.
