Cold Chain Projects

GCCA Provides Cold Chain Solutions in Uzbekistan
In 2017, GCCA continued its support of cold storage in Uzbekistan, a country that has witnessed substantial growth in refrigerated warehouse capacity from only 258,000 cubic meters in 2010 to 3.5 million cubic meters in 2016. Building off this work, GCCA was invited by the USAID-funded Competitiveness, Trade, and Jobs (CTJ) project to provide solutions to enhance the capacity and understanding of the cold chain in Central Asia. To complete this assignment, GCCA Vice President of International Programs Richard Tracy traveled to Kazakhstan and Tajikistan with Technical Experts Dick Dowdell and Brian Fox to meet with cold chain stakeholders, and assess current capacity. The report for the CTJ project is in progress now, but overall, training and education were determined to be the major needs. With the nearby markets of Russia and China importing horticulture produce, Central Asia has great potential to follow the lead of Uzbekistan and increase its capacity to maintain the cold chain.
