Small scale farming of perishable produce, fish production, processing and trading is the major economic activity in coastal communities within the Niger-Delta Region of Nigeria. Since most of the communities are off the national grid, there are no cold storage facilities available, as such many of the perishable agricultural produce that are not sold immediately tend to spoil or reduce in economic value. This significantly reduces the income of agricultural farmers.
COLD-ALIVE
Cold-Alive is a modular, 100% solar-powered walk-in cold rooms, which provides 24/7 off-grid refrigeration for the storage and preservation of perishables agricultural produce, fresh fish and other aquatic food and a mobile application that connects farmers to food aggregators to help reduce post-harvest losses.
