An active contributing member to the Chamber organisation, Market Freight Management is a successful operation providing a service to growers, transporters, wholesalers and product promotion groups.

Market Freight Management encourage large numbers of freight forwarders, both intra and interstate to make their total loading details available, individualised for each wholesaler in the Melbourne Markets the moment the transport departs for Melbourne. The information received is then collated and details made available to the individual wholesaler 24 hours in advance.

This produce arrival information is available Monday to Friday, plus Sunday for the all important Monday market.

This service provides great assistance to the wholesalers as it enables a more accurate market supply to be determined, enabling wholesalers to effectively organise warehousing and staffing requirements according to the anticipated arrivals.

Market Freight Management collects transport charges. This provides freight forwarders with a positive freight collection service whereby they are paid one cheque for their total deliveries to market within 21 days. Weekly invoicing is processed for all consignments to individual merchants thus relieving freight forwarders of this task.

Levy deductions from growers and contributions to industry promotional funding are also collected on behalf of associations and product groups.
