Webinar (Full): Evaluating the Food Cold Chain in the Philippines

This video is a recording of an online webinar titled “Evaluating the Food Cold Chain in the Philippines”, hosted live by CCI-Hub representatives on September 15, 2020.

In this webinar, we discuss the opportunity that the Philippines' food cold chain sector has to leapfrog traditional equipment and implement innovative and sustainable technologies and best practices today.

We discuss the research findings of our recently published report outlining the current state of the food cold chain sector as well as the technology alternatives available in the market today.

The webinar also includes a 20 minute Q&A session where questions from the audience were answered live during the session.

About the CCI-Hub:

The CCI-Hub is one of the main components of the “Global Partnership for improving the Food Cold Chain in the Philippines" project, implemented by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) together with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources of the Philippines (DENR).

The Philippines’ Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) has been selected as an official partner of the project and as the national entity to host the CCI-Hub at its central office located in Metro Manila.

The CCI-Hub serves as the project's main platform providing an ecosystem of technical resources, training, knowledge sharing and stakeholder collaboration. Its main objective is to increase adoption of best practice refrigeration and related services as well as communication throughout the food cold chain and to ensure a long-term impact of the project.

About the “Global Partnership for improving the Food Cold Chain in the Philippines":

One of the most pressing issues in developing countries is a faulty food cold chain, which results in massive food loss and underserved communities.

To address that problem in the Philippines, the project aims to identify, develop and stimulate the application of low-carbon, energy efficient refrigeration innovation technologies and business practices for use throughout the food cold chain (CC) to increase food safety and food security.

It is funded by US$2 million from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), with US$25 million in co-financing (in-kind, grants and loans).
