Keep produce moving from harvest to market.
Agronah’s solar cold-storage work connects cold rooms with farmer organizations, market relationships and logistics so partners can plan around post-harvest needs.
Plan cold storage around the value chain.
A useful deployment considers what is grown nearby, when produce is harvested, who will operate the facility, and how stored produce can reach buyers.
Location and capacity
Start with the produce, season, expected storage need and communities or businesses the facility could serve.
Operating model
Discuss operator responsibilities, service access, maintenance and the partner roles needed for day-to-day delivery.
Market and logistics links
Explore how farmer groups, buyers and transport partners can coordinate around stored produce and onward movement.
