Prolong the Life for Perishable Produce
Available at our Packaging Facilities
Cold Storage plays an important role in maintaining marketability, by reducing the rate at which perishable produce deteriorates. This is achieved by reducing the rate of biochemical changes in fresh foods (known as ‘respiration’ and ‘senescence’).
- Guyana Marketing Corporation has cold storage facilities at both of its packaging facilities: Sophia Central Packaging Facility and the Parika Agro-Packaging Facility.
- These facilities are available to all farmers and exporters that are registered with the GMC.
- The purpose of our packaging facilities are to facilitate the processing of fresh produce for local and export markets.
