What we Offer
We have two products aimed at availing first mile cold storage services to small holder farmers and Aggregators / Distributors.
Full Service Product
Professional First Mile produce handling using Solar Powered Cold Storages and market linkages
SokoFresh hubs in rural areas are central locations where participating farmers can aggregate their produce at the cold storages. The hubs are run by a team of SokoFresh Staff who ensure high standards of food safety and processional harvesting practices are maintained
- Are you a smallholder farmer growing fruits and/or vegetables (e.g avocado, mango, bananas, citrus fruits etc) in Kenya?
- Are you looking for a partner to support post harvest management and market access?
SokoFresh exists to serve thousands of smallholder farmers like you. As a smallholder farmer or a farmer group you can register with SokoFresh and access our 2 in one bundled service. The service provides a full farm to market solution that includes the following;
- Support on pre harvest readiness
- Access to harvesting best practices, harvesting tools and links to trained harvesters
- Access to a cold storage hub at a location that is accessible to most farmers
