Why it matters

Why are cold chain solutions needed?

Reliable cold chain solutions are essential for food security and economic development: they reduce food loss and improve hygiene and public health.

40%+of food in Sub-Saharan Africa perishes before it reaches a consumer.
60%of fresh produce can be lost along the way.
94%of this total food loss is a result of insufficient cold chain solutions, in both storage and distribution.

Without enough cold storage, and often short of cash, wholesalers and retailers are forced to sell fresh produce quickly. That makes prices and availability volatile for everyone along the chain, from farmers to families.

Temperature-controlled storage and distribution changes that. Products last longer, reach more markets and arrive safe to eat, which means less waste, steadier incomes and better public health.
