CEBU NEEDS MORE COLD STORAGE

CEBU may require 50 new cold storage facilities to meet the demands of its farming and fishing industries.

The move would also reduce food wastage, lower consumer prices and lessen the control of middlemen in the supply chain.

Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Mark Anthony Ynoc said it would be ideal for cold storage hubs to be located close to production areas such as farms and fishing communities.
