g) Port of entry
Table 33 indicates the data inventory between the port of departure and the port of entry. This includes the energy (Green Cranes, 2011) and the related GHG emissions as outputs of fuel combustion (Luske, 2010).
h) Transportation from the port of entry to ripening facilities
To avoid early ripening, the banana fruit is transported in refrigerated trucks (>32 tonne) to ripening facilities. For this study, the location for ripening is
