Cooling that protects harvests, incomes and food security.
ecoCoolStore
brings dependable cooling directly to where it is needed most.
This solar-powered, grid-independent cooling container protects fresh produce and temperature-sensitive goods from the moment they are harvested until they reach the market.
The light-weight container can be installed without heavy tools or cranes at any farm, harvesting site, village collection point or remote market – wherever the grid is unreliable – or simply does not exist.
In a nutshell
The Challenge
Very high post-harvest losses caused by heat, delay and inadequate handling conditions
Unreliable or even completely unavailable
electricity grids
A broken cold chain between farm, collection point and market
The Solution
Cooling of the produce directly at the point of harvest
Solar-PV combined with an ingenious
latent cold storage stystem
A versatile mobile cooling unit
The Impact
Subtsantially more produce reaches the market in saleable condition
Grid-independent operation without reliance on diesel
Local value creation instead of avoidable loss
-> more reliable income !
It is a proven fact that in many third-world supply chains,
post-harvest losses can reach 50% or even more…
