Análisis comparativo de la logística de transporte para la exportación de rosas ecuatorianas hacia Perú.

Abstract

In all international trade operations, transportation plays a very important role because it oversees moving the products from the exporting country to the importing country, within the period and conditions previously established. There are four most used modes of transport in international trade: air, sea, land and rail. The choice of the mode of transport to use depends on factors such as: type of product to be transferred, the conditions in which it must be transferred, its dimensions, weight, costs that must be incurred for its transfer, etc. In this sense, the objective has been to carry out a comparative analysis of transport logistics for the case of an export of Ecuadorian roses to Peru. For this, descriptive research with a qualitative approach was carried out, which consisted of a bibliographic review based on articles and books from which the theoretical support that allowed the development of the practical case was obtained. The results show that air transport, despite being the most expensive, is the best option to export Ecuadorian roses to Peru due to the following reasons: It is the safest means of transport and the degree of manipulation that the flowers will have is low, which guarantees delivery of the product in excellent conditions without breaking the cold chain that the rose needs to preserve its quality.
