GCCF partnered with DAI on the USAID Moldova Agriculture Competitiveness and Enterprise Development (ACED) project. This project aimed to develop and expand markets for Moldovan high-value agriculture and to provide training to upgrade production and the ability to meet buyer requirements as well as to foster the development of competitive enterprises in the Transnistrian region of Moldova. To help the project better understand the country’s cold chain needs, GCCF assessed the current state of cold chain construction and management in Moldova’s fresh produce sector. Based on these results, the foundation recommended specific activities to increase the operational efficiency of existing cold store facilities and advise the design and development of new facilities to service producers of a wide range of fresh produce.
