Is Frozen the Future?
The demand for frozen avocados is growing because of their convenient form and some have described the linkage between frozen food and decreasing food waste. Nearly 50% of harvested fruits- and vegetables in Kenya are lost before it reaches the customer. For smallholder farmers to benefit, a tremendous upgrade of the existing value chain to include cutting, peeling and freezing facilities alongside upgrading Kenya’s cold chain infrastructure would be needed.
There is a lack of technology in Kenya to provide and sustain required temperatures whilst retaining the product integrity. Cryogenic Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) technology, a global solution for the existing gap is needed. This cold chain solution is an advanced global practice for attainment of superior quality products using natural food grade carbon dioxide to attain sub-zero temperatures (0 to -78 degrees Celsius).
