The Importance of Registered Packing Houses, Warehouses, and Cold Storage for Indonesia’s Perishable Exports

As Indonesia’s agri-export industry continues to grow, the ability to deliver fresh, high-quality perishable goods to international markets has become a defining factor for success. In this context, the role of Registered Packing Houses (RPH), certified warehouses, and cold storage facilities is not just operational—it is mission-critical.

1. Why Registration and Certification Matter

Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture mandates that perishable export commodities—such as fruits, vegetables, seafood, and floriculture—must go through Registered Packing Houses and be stored or handled in certified warehouses and cold chains. This is not just a bureaucratic step. Registration ensures:

• Compliance with international phytosanitary standards

• Traceability of origin and handling

• Consistent product quality and safety

Buyers in major export destinations—like Singapore, Japan, the Middle East, and the EU—are increasingly demanding proof of regulated, transparent supply chains. Without proper certification, shipments may be rejected at the port of arrival or face delays and financial losses.

2. Protecting Quality in Every Step

Perishables are extremely sensitive to time, temperature, and handling. A delay in cooling, excess humidity, or improper packaging can significantly reduce shelf life and marketability.

• Registered Packing Houses ensure that goods are cleaned, sorted, graded, and packed according to export standards.

• Certified Warehouses maintain safe storage conditions prior to export, preventing spoilage or contamination.

• Cold Storage preserves freshness during transport and consolidation, especially in multi-modal shipments that combine land and air freight.

At Forin Logistics, we see the cold chain as a lifeline—not just a feature. Our network ensures that sensitive commodities move efficiently from the farm gate to the export gateway with minimal temperature deviation.

3. Enhancing Export Reputation and Market Access

Working with registered and certified facilities builds trust with overseas buyers. It opens doors to high-value markets that require stringent documentation and compliance. For exporters, this is more than meeting minimum standards—it’s about gaining a competitive edge.

Reliable handling and storage also mean fewer claims, less shrinkage, and better long-term profitability.
