ecoCoolStore
ecoCoolStore brings solar-powered cooling directly to where produce is harvested — helping farmers keep more of what they grow and earn more from what they sell.
Lightweight, modular and independent of the electricity grid, the container can be assembled without cranes or heavy lifting equipment at farms, village collection points and remote markets.
Fresh produce stays valuable for longer. Farmers gain time to organize transport, reach buyers and negotiate a fair price.
In a nutshell: Less waste. More value. Greater opportunity.
The Challenge
Heat and delays turn valuable harvests into avoidable losses.
Reliable electricity is often unavailable where cooling is needed most.
Without cooling, farmers have little time to store, transport or sell perishable produce.
The Solution
Cooling close to the point of harvest.
Solar power combined with latent cold storage — storing cooling capacity for use when the sun is not shining.
A lightweight, movable container designed for practical assembly and deployment.
The Impact
More produce can reach the market in saleable condition.
Cooling without dependence on the electricity grid or diesel generation.
Better prospects for reliable farm income and stronger local food supply chains.
-> a more reliable income !
The value of a harvest should stay with the people who grow it.
Every spoiled crop represents more than lost food. It also means lost water, land, labor and income.
ecoCoolStore helps protect that investment by bringing cooling closer to the source — giving producers more control over what happens after harvest.
