Performance Team opens up in Houston

The GCCA urges swift policy action to help Africa’s cold chain logistics bolster food supply resilience amid power outages and load-shedding challenges.

Despite ongoing and severe geopolitical and environmental challenges, the seaborne trade in perishable products has staged a strong recovery this year. Further growth is expected as inflation rates across the world continue to fall and expenditure on protein, fresh fruit and vegetables rises.

Port Houston is now approved by APHIS to handle cold treatment cargo, allowing it to manage a wider range of temperature-sensitive perishable products.

A new study found that fully refrigerated food supply chains could prevent nearly half of the 1.3 billion tons of global food waste and reduce related greenhouse gas emissions by 41%.

The Global Cold Chain Alliance supports the European Industrial Deal through the Antwerp Declaration, advocating for investment in cold chain infrastructure.

Innovations in energy-efficient refrigeration technologies and sustainable materials contribute to a greener cold chain, aligning with global green initiatives.
