Cool Chain Association Global Perishable Conference
Cool Chain Services that support perishable food distribution globally are estimated to be valued at nearly $250 billion. And if the world had a properly functioning cool chain, food losses due to perishables shipping can be brought down to just 2%.
Given the critical need for a better dialogue between the logistics sector and perishable producers and shippers, the Cool Chain Association organizes the CCA Global Perishable Conference, to be held in conjunction with the CCA AGM 2018 (members only) on 19-20 June at the premises of the Legere Premium Hotel in Luxembourg.
The conference aimed to address the latest trends in temperature-controlled Air Cargo Logistics, to find innovative solutions to common challenges and tackle issues related to trade barriers, infrastructure and distribution involved in perishables transportation.
