SokoFresh cold storage is now live across 13 counties in Kenya—bringing decentralized, solar-powered cold chain directly to the farm gate.

For farmers growing high-value crops, this is transformative. Produce can be harvested at the optimal time, whether early morning or late evening, then immediately stored in a controlled environment that preserves quality from the moment it leaves the field. With on-site cold storage, farmers gain flexibility and control. Temperature and humidity are easily set and monitored via a simple interface or mobile app, ensuring produce is handled to exact post-harvest standards every time.

The result is clear:

  • Longer shelf life
  • Significantly lower rejection rates
  • Greater confidence in meeting market requirements

Backed by 5+ years of operating experience across Kenya, SokoFresh has built a system that works refined through real-world execution across multiple value chains. Our engineering team monitors every unit remotely and supports customers 24/7, ensuring reliability at scale.

We are actively rewriting the narrative on post-harvest loss. What was once up to 40% is now reduced to near zero across our network, while maintaining low operating costs through solar-powered mini-grids on every unit. From Kiambu to Kilifi, Narok to Uasin Gishu—the network is scaling, the model is proven, and the impact is compounding.

Next stop: Eastern Africa.
