A Cool Chain in a Supply Chain– November 21, 2005
Perspectives from Seven Sectors of the Cool Chain Industry


Dubai is often described as a city with ideas and when it comes achieving them, all the stops are pulled out. This could be described as synergies of highly hard-working people who are driven by success of personal and commercial life.

In this second Cool Chain Conference, issues and trends that transformed the hub-and-spoke city of Middle East will be highlighted to the delight of those attending the event. The emerging business model includes a strategy for cool chain management affecting one growth sector - the floriculture which will become the focus after imminent opening of Dubai Flower Centre.

One of the notable trends in the production and processing stages in the supply chain is present the logistics journey of the flower from field to the vase at home – thus highlighting the challenges of post harvesting and preservation in the floriculture sector challenged by hot, dry and humid environment. The results of the survey done among stakeholders in the floricultural distribution will be presented during the panel discussion.
