Ministry of Agriculture and Lands-<\/strong>Given the Ministry of Agriculture\u2019s
\nthrust to ensure Food and Nutrition Security for all, locals are involved in a three-week Bilateral
\nTraining Seminar on Cold Storage Logistics here in Grenada. The training is sponsored by the
\nMinistry of Commerce of the People\u2019s Republic of China and organized with support from the
\nDepartment of Public Administration. It was opened on Thursday 21st November at the
\nGrenada National Stadium. Over the three weeks participants will become more aware of
\nmanipulation of cold storage, such as suitable temperatures, Packaging and storage.
\nThe opportunity for Grenada to have access to better cold storage facilities means local
\nproduce such as fruits, vegetables and meats can be chilled or frozen; prolonging the shelf life,
\nmaintaining the fresh appearance of the food and ensuring food availability through-out the year.<\/p>\n

Cold chain technology is important in these modern times; given its significance in the food and medical industry; and in particular for small tropical countries like Grenada. The Dean of
\ninternational Logistics at the Department of Shandong foreign Trade Vocational College in
\nChina, Daniel Lui Xiquan explains.
\n\u201cThis Seminar is designed to meet your increasing market demands for cold chain technology
\nand also an action under China\u2019s belt and road initiative to promote the cooperation and
\nstrengthen the friendship between China and Grenada \u201c
\nHe added that, \u201cduring the seminar participants will be privy to learning about China\u2019s
\neconomic reform and logistic industry, the history of the cold chain industry, information
\ntechnology in cold chain logistic management, China\u2019s Cold Chain enterprises and also one
\nweek practical training courses with two experts of the Cold Chain Industry from a famous Cold
\nChain company in China, to build a cold chain storage at the La Sagesse Demonstration Farm.\u201d
\nSun Sen Director of General affairs Division and Deputy Director of Bilateral affairs at the
\nembassy of the People\u2019s Republic of China congratulated all the candidates that were selected
\nto participate in the course. He said \u201cThe training will also include on site practice at the La Sagesse Farm land to enable trainees the practical skills on building and maintaining a low
\ntemperature storage, a fundamental part in Cold Chain logistics.\u201d
\nPermanent Secretary within the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, Mr. Elvis Morain said, \u201cWe
\nare very excited about the installation of such a facility here, where locals will be involved in the
\nprocess, hands on. While we have a mandate of ensuring food and nutrition security in this
\ncontext it means that we must insure that health and safety is foremost. The cold chain
\nmanagement is critical to some of the things we do and this is an ideal opportunity to take
\nthings to the next level.\u201d
\nAlana Felix-Roberts Human Resource Officer at the Department of Public Administrations (DPA)
\nsays this is the only bilateral training on home soil for 2019 and describes the training as timely.
\nThe training will have a mixed methodological approach involving lectures, discussions and
\npractical sessions.
\n\u201cThis course is quite timely and necessary as some representatives from health, agriculture and
\nother related sectors will be exposed to critical knowledge and skills as it relates to maintaining
\nthe integrity of pharmaceutical, agricultural and other temperature sensitive products.\u201d
\nThe Course runs from November 21st to December 12th, 2019. The Ministry of Agriculture and
\nlands hopes that this seminar will improve our technology, promote economic development
\nand strengthen the friendship between the two countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
