Lake Victoria Basin Commission (LVBC) in partnership with the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) has concluded an extensive assessment on the integration of cold storage chains along Lake Victoria.
LVBC Executive Secretary (ES) Dr.
Masinde Bwire said the findings of the study, conducted between January 20 and 25, 2025 would pave the way for the establishment of cold chain storage infrastructure across Lake Victoria to promote regional trade.
He said the initiative targets to leverage on Inland Waterways Transport (IWT) systems to transport perishable goods among them fish, agricultural products, dairy products and pharmaceuticals.
