Summary

The World Food Logistics Organization (WFLO), technical assistance, training and education arm of the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA), was allocated a grant under FAS’s Emerging Markets Program Agreement #2014-05 to conduct an assessment of the food and rural business systems in Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru with particular emphases on the cold chain infrastructure available to receive US perishable imports, as well as facilitate exports and local retail distribution. Meetings were arranged with the following types of companies/organizations to learn more about the challenges experienced in the cold chain in each country, as well as the opportunities for further technical assistance, training and investment to improve the infrastructure and services required to support and expand trade between the US and each of the three target countries: perishable food producers and producer associations; processing facilities and packing house operations; fast food franchise owners/operators; 3rd party logistics (3PL) providers and warehouses; supermarkets and other food retailers.
