43 | ASSESSMENT OF REGIONAL AGRI-LOGISTICS CENTERS IN UZBEKISTAN USAID.GOV • Informs customers (via phone, e-mail, text, etc.), what is available for sale, volumes, packaging, price, etc. • Since inventory is entered INTO the computer system at the time of receiving, in like manner, inventory will be deducted from the system as sales occur. Selectors: • Provided a list of products to select and palletize. • Pallets are orderly placed on the refrigerated shipping area floor/loading dock for eventual loading. Shipping out: • Shipping from the distribution center can be best described as the process(es) of: o Refrigerated produce shipping trucks are PRE-cooled then properly loaded and loads secured for shipping (e.g., load-locks, pallet strapping, pallet wrapping with netting or shrink wrap, corner boards, etc.) o Short-haul mixed loads: ensure pallets are loaded in proper order for unloading in order of stops. o Long-haul loads: ensure sufficient ventilation, properly secured and utilize inexpensive temperature recording devices. Where necessary, install ethylene neutralizing devices. Sanitation practices: • Customers can be expected to regularly tour these facilities, in particular retail customers. • Private and/or government certification personnel will tour and inspect the facility. • Without exception, use of any tobacco product inside the entire facility was prohibited. • Designated smoking areas were located outside the facility and away from doorways. • Without exception, consumption of liquid and solid foods is done inside a designated cafeteria area. Never inside the refrigerated facility. Processing/value-added pre-cut: • Processing is often and interchangeably a highly generalized and all-inclusive term. However, from extensive experience processing per se refers strictly to juicing of products from which very little profit can be gained. • Value-added pre-cut refers to peeling, slicing, dicing, halving, cubing, vacuum-packing, creating salsas, of products, increasing the raw products’ value, thus, value-added. This value-added operation was under the same roof/same facility as the entire distribution center. USAID.GOV ASSESSMENT OF REGIONAL AGRI-LOGISTICS CENTERS IN UZBEKISTAN | 44 o Initially, a value-added pre-cut facility was a manual process merely for rinsing, whole peeling and vacuum packing, e.g., potatoes, onions, carrots, etc. o The more complex and detailed value-added pre-cut practices (e.g., dicing, slicing, halving, cubing, creating salsas, etc.) came to fruition much further along in the distribution center’s successful operation. o Experience with produce value-added operations, and selling value-added products to retail, wholesale/foodservice, cruise ship provisioning, export, institutional provisioning, provided the distribution center operating company with extraordinary profitability and positive irreplaceable reputation for reliability and quality. o For obvious health-related sanitation certification reasons, sanitation, cleanliness, employee responsibility, management + supervision, personnel training, product-flow, the wearing of gowns, facial hair & head hair nets, special non-irritating gloves, slip-proof boots are brought to new & enhanced acute levels of diligence inside a value-added facility. o A competent and fully certified private company was contracted to clean and sanitize the value-added facility each evening.
