More than 40% of horticultural produce spoils before it even reaches market, a problem SokoFresh™ aims to solve with its off-grid cold storage and market linkage services. The startup has now secured $500K in new investment to advance its mission.
The capital comes from the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) and Bayer Foundation, backing SokoFresh™'s model which provides smallholder farmers with pay-as-you-store cold storage and digital market access, directly addressing significant financial losses and inconsistent supply in fruit and vegetable value chains.
