Soko Fresh offers an at-the-farm cold-storage service to reduce food waste for farms that have an unreliable supply chain. The company has also built a digital market platform to integrate small- and medium-scale farmers into professional value chains. With the flexible cold storage services and digital market, farmers, traders, and exporters have a more stable source of income.
This case study has been created as part of Footprints Africa's work to build a comprehensive open-source database of circular economy initiatives in Africa. We are doing this in collaboration with the African Circular Economy Network (ACEN), as part of our programme to support the circular economy transition in Africa.
