Cold-Alive tackles post-harvest losses by providing AI-powered, solar cold storage for farmers and fishers, ensuring food preservation, reducing waste, and increasing income.
Cold-Alive is a green cold chain enterprise that empowers smallholder farmers and fishers in Nigeria by addressing post-harvest losses and food waste. Many producers lose up to 40% of their perishable goods due to unreliable storage, inefficient logistics, and limited market access, which reduces income and threatens food security.
Cold-Alive provides solar-powered modular cold storage hubs (Cold-Alive Hubs) combined with an AI-driven mobile application that optimizes logistics, predicts demand, and connects farmers and fishers to buyers. This approach preserves food, increases household income, and supports climate resilience by reducing food waste and reliance on fossil-fuel-powered storage. Through sustainable, tech-enabled solutions, Cold-Alive strengthens local food systems, enhances livelihoods, and promotes environmentally responsible practices in Nigeria’s agricultural sector.
