Turkey: Cold chain training program for Moldovan entrepreneurs
The goal of this 7-day customized program in Istanbul and Antalya was to educate Moldovan cold store operators and equipment suppliers and increase their capability to identify the most appropriate technologies and equipment needed for improving the shelf life and maintaining the quality of the selected fruit commodities like table grapes, apples, stone fruit, etc.
This study tour was designed as well to give Moldovan suppliers an opportunity to network and acquire the necessary tools to implement better post-harvest techniques, as means to further contributing to cold chain development in Moldova.
