The cold store in a deplorable state<\/strong><\/p>\n

A MILLION Euros cold
\nstorage facility that was built to address post-harvest fish losses in the
\nNingo-Prampram District of the Greater Accra Region has been left to rot away.<\/p>\n

The Spanish FAD-sponsored
\nrefrigeration facility has been left to the mercy of sea breeze and hard
\nweather conditions due to what is believed to be heavily indebted electricity
\nbills.<\/p>\n

The landing beach cold store was
\nthe first of six to be located in different fishing communities at a total cost
\nof $7 million during the tenure of former President John Agyekum Kufuor.<\/p>\n

The facility is made up of cold store rooms, one freezing tunnel, an ice bin and
\na flake ice factory.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other communities that were to benefit
\nfrom the project included coastal towns like Shama, Nyanyano, Kormantse, New
\nTakoradi and Half Assini.<\/p>\n

The facility built to prevent post-harvest
\nlosses was also producing ice cubes in large quantities for fishermen who used
\nit to preserve their fishes whilst at sea.<\/p>\n

However, the cold store which was
\nunder private-public management has not worked for over three years as a result
\nof huge electricity bills accumulated.<\/p>\n

The Electricity Company of Ghana
\n(ECG) has since disconnected power supply to the facility, thereby forcing the
\nmanagement to lock up the place.<\/p>\n

This has left the laudable project
\nto be at the mercy of the bad weather and the equipment is deteriorating very
\nfast over there.<\/p>\n

Some fishermen and fishmongers who
\nspoke with DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong> could not hide their frustration over the situation
\nwhen they said the lack of cold storage
\nfacilities was resulting in a lot of waste in the system.<\/p>\n

According to them, they had to
\ntravel to buy ice cubes in Tema to preserve their fish stock.<\/p>\n

They appealed to government to see
\nto the re-opening of the cold store.<\/p>\n
