South Africa: Cape Industries Showcase Expo: 2 to 4 July 2014
Refrigeration vital for food security
“Cold chain handling and refrigerated storage systems are an inevitable and essential investment in preventing perishable food losses along crop-to-shop distribution channels,” says John Thomson of Exhibition Management Services, organisers of theshow.
Hot equatorial summers bring an abundance of sunlight and rain to African farmers’ and producers’ crops and stock, but the stifling heat limits the distribution radius of unrefrigerated food products.
As such, globaldemand for commercial refrigeration equipment is forecast to rise 4,4% a year through to 2016, worth$32-billion.“Much of this demand emanates from Africa’s burgeoning new consumer markets,” continues Thomson. “RAC Africa is ideally placed to facilitate business opportunities for buyers, importers, agents and distributors, and will showcase the latest products, technologies, services and trends from around the world.”
China and Turkey have confirmed bookings for national pavilions at the show, with pending bookings from suppliers inHong Kong, Thailand, India and Germany.
