A complex agronomic trait determining the ability of heads to withstand transportation without loss of marketability. This trait is closely linked to the density of the head structure and its resistance to mechanical stress.

The transportability of white cabbage is determined by the physical and mechanical properties of the head, with density being the key factor. High density of the internal structure directly correlates with resistance to deformation and mechanical damage under dynamic and static loads during transportation.
When assessing transportability, size and mass characteristics, as well as friction coefficients of outer leaves and the core, are taken into account. The breeding potential of a cultivar or hybrid determines the threshold for resistance to cracking; however, agronomic errors, such as excessive irrigation before harvest, reduce dry matter content and significantly impair the transportability of the produce.
