Cold Chain Management training to enhance quality of flowers

Everyone who works with fresh flowers knows they need to be kept cool. And everyone involved in fresh flower supplies works hard to ensure that. However, few supply chains seem to succeed in keeping flowers under consistently optimal conditions all the way from farm to florist. In order to improve the cold chain performance and in turn extend the vase life of the flowers, Flowerwatch designed a series of modules both on-farm and at a central location. On March 24, their Module 1 - Cold Chain Management will be held in Naivasha.

The training is targeted on packhouse managers and cold room supervisors. In this training, they will learn how to reduce flower rejects, improve the quality of their flowers and their protocols within their supply chain. Besides that, they will also be prepared for new markets with a longer cold chain. All of this will be learned through practical vase life samples.

Last event included participants from Freight forwarders, farms, breeders and airlines. "This training gives insight to optimizing your cold chain performance and therefore improving quality and vase-life of flowers", says David Dass of Flower Watch Kenya Ltd.

Costs: 19,500/- Kshs + VAT.
Venue: Will be communicated closer to the date.
