SokoFresh

SokoFresh supports smallholder farmers to reduce post-harvest loss and increase the value of their harvests, by unlocking access to off-grid cold storage, value-add activities and better buyers through cooling-as-a-service (CAAS) models. SokoFresh integrates cold storage, structured aggregation and market linkage activities into smallholder farmer value chains by offering these on a pay-as-you-store basis. Through a PREO-funded project, targeting local job creation and supporting higher incomes for smallholder farmers, the company has also improved quantity and quality of highly nutritious crops, and reduced the strain of agriculture on the local environment.
