Abstract
The paper analyses the transport of exotic fruit from tropical and subtropical areas to the shopping malls located in Central Europe. The exotic fruit belongs to the group of perishable goods. After its harvest and stowage into transport boxes, it is transported in the refrigerated containers by container vessels. Specific conditions (the temperature, the humidity of air) have to be provided in these containers so that
the fruit would not be spoilt.
