Building Climate Smart Supply Chains in Africa
Cold Rooms enable 40% more produce to reach the market whilst in great shape. This is the biggest unlock in horticulture. We build and deploy rentable, solar-powered cold rooms at the farm level with flexible models (e.g., Lease/Lease-to-Own) to keep your high-value fresh produce fresh.
Ramp up to 1,000 Solar Powered Cold rooms deployed by 2030.
East Africa's horticulture sector is growing rapidly (~7%), but cold room capacity is lagging. SokoFresh is providing proven, cost-effective, and reliable technology. We have deployed cold storage in Kenya, Madagascar, and Seychelles and are on track to have 1,000 rentable, solar-powered cold storage facilities deployed by 2030.
Powering digital market access in Avocado & Soya bean value chains in EA.
SokoFresh has established relationships with large-scale, formal buyers and over 20,000 farmers and 30+ co-ops and AgriSMEs to provide the link between the contracted demand and the growing supply base. The results are fair prices, traceability, fast digital payments to farmers and loyalty by bulk offtakers.
Building Climate-Smart Supply Chains in Africa
We are at the forefront of solving the two most impactful and lucrative challenges in the Agricultural sector, starting in Kenya.
