21 tons of sweet cherry for the Ural region

Do you know the difference between cherries and sweet cherries? No? So we are here to tell that to you! Both cherries and sweet cherries belong to the same genus called Prunus. However, there are much more differences than similarities in these fruits. Let’s start with the visual parameters. Externally, the trees themselves are also different: the sweet cherry tree has light bark and large pointed leaves while the ordinary cherry tree has dark bark and small leaves. These fruits are also different in terms of the size, taste characteristics, look and color. Sweet cherries are larger, and sweeter. The berry can be red, yellow, pink and almost black. The cherry is smaller in size, has a certain degree of acidity in the taste, and its color is red.

Both cherries and sweet cherries are considered quite ancient fruits. Presumably, the history of these fruits begins in X or XI century. It is believed that cherry appeared in Russia in the lifetime of Yuri Dolgorukiy, when luxurious cherry orchards appeared in Moscow. Later, cherry appeared in the Vladimir region, Nizhny Novgorod and other cities of Russia.

TRASKO truck with a refrigerated semi-trailer was allocated to carry out transportation. It was important for us to arrive in Fergana (Uzbekistan) during harvesting. We provided the truck to the customer in May 2022 in accordance with the agreements and loaded 3,800 boxes of sweet fruit into it. Each pallet of cargo included three tiers of boxes. It is absolutely impossible to stack such cargo. Moreover, transportation should be extremely careful not to bruise the cherries. Carefully loaded, our truck began its journey to Yekaterinburg.

It allows to monitor the compliance of temperature indicators with the required ones.
