African policy leaders must support robust growth in the cold chain for the success of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and to boost prosperity, food supply chain resilience and trade across the continent, said the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA). At the start of the GCCA Africa conference, in Cape Town, on August 22, the alliance highlighted the publication of a new report, which demonstrated the importance of collaboration between national governments across Africa and businesses operating temperature-controlled storage and distribution, to deliver infrastructure, innovation and skills that are fit for today and for the future.
