Bernhofen et al. (2016) reported that standard shipping containers are largely used in international trade and are considered one of the main drivers of economic globalization, as containers on ships carry about 90% of global trade. Due to increased global trade, proliferation of insect pests is also on the increase during grain shipments (Meurisse, et al. 2019). Appropriate phytosanitary measures must be taken to minimize not only the losses due to insect pests but also to control introduction of alien species to worldwide destinations. Marchioro et al. (2020) suggested placing light traps (up to 8) within the shipping containers so that upon arrival at the destination insects trapped are readily detected and documented. Such innovative techniques can facilitate efficient inspections of containers at port of entries and can also help in devising appropriate control strategies for the detected insects.

Generally, beans are contracted, produced, harvested, processed, and transported as scheduled to the end user in a direct and well‐maintained supply chain flow.
