HyFun Foods Launches Reefer Rail with Adani & Evergreen

HyFun Foods has announced a strategic initiative to establish sustainable export logistics infrastructure through a new reefer rail transport service developed in collaboration with Adani Logistics and Evergreen Marine Corporation. This partnership represents a structural shift in how perishable goods are transported from India to export markets, combining rail and ocean freight capabilities to reduce logistics friction and carbon footprint. The initiative addresses a critical gap in India's cold-chain infrastructure.

Historically, perishable exports have relied heavily on trucking and air freight—both capital-intensive and environmentally inefficient. By establishing dedicated reefer rail corridors, the consortium creates a more cost-effective and sustainable pathway for temperature-controlled goods to reach ports and ultimately international markets. This is particularly significant for agriculture-dependent economies like India, where food exports represent a major revenue stream.

For supply chain professionals, this development signals growing acceptance of rail-based cold logistics in emerging markets. The involvement of Adani Logistics (a major Indian multimodal operator) and Evergreen Marine (a global container shipping leader) suggests this is not a one-off pilot but part of a broader infrastructure play. Companies sourcing or exporting perishables from India should reassess their transport mode mix and potentially integrate this service into their procurement and distribution strategies.
