Reimagine first mile produce sourcing & aggregation. SokoFresh™ Offers access to Reliable, OffGrid, First Mile Cold Storage facilities ( CaaS) & Digital Market Linkage services to Farmers and Buyers in fruit & vegetable value chains. Currently over 40% - 50% of horticultural produce is lost mainly due to poor storage and handling practices. The produce loss leads to financial losses for smallholder farmers, under investment in production and inconsistency in supply of the produce. SokoFresh™ unlocks the opportunity for farmers, agents and buyers to access much needed cold storage at first mile, adopt better produce handling during harvesting and market linkage.We are pioneers in the development of a business model that works for smallholder farmers. We achieve this through a 3 in 1 service that encompasses offgrid, pay-as-you-store cold storage, produce handling though the use of crates and market linkage service. SokoFresh™ is powered by Enviu
