Dominican Republic Trade Safe Project

Country: Dominican Republic

GCCF supported USDA’s Food for Progress “Trade Safe (TraSa) Project” in the Dominican Republic. This was a follow-on to the successful Exporting Quality project, also funded by the USDA, which GCCF supported from 2015 to 2020.  This project expanded the cold chain training and consultations from packhouses and airports to improve efficiencies via education and investment for a broader group of cold chain stakeholders. GCCF reviewed relevant cold chain legislation in the country as well as organized study tours to demonstrate cold chain best practices at land, air, and seaports in the U.S. and Central America.
