Baridi, which means cold in Swahili, is a brand that aims to revolutionize the livestock value chain in East Africa by providing affordable, solar-powered cooling solutions. Their key value is to connect communal markets, agribusiness processors, and cold chain stakeholders with energy-saving and environmentally friendly refrigeration options. Baridi offers solar-powered refrigeration systems that allow you to generate your own electricity and reduce your reliance on the grid.

Their insulated refrigerants can cool over a tonne of meat in just 8 to 9 hours, ensuring efficient preservation. Additionally, they provide IoT technology for remote monitoring, including sensors for door openings, humidity, and temperature. Committed to sustainable development, Baridi aligns with several UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Their products contribute to SDG 2 by extending the lifespan of meat to 3-7 days through chilling and up to 3-6 months by freezing. Furthermore, they prioritize gender equality with a majority female staff (SDG 5) and promote clean cities by reducing urban heat islands in Nairobi's commercial meat markets (SDG 11). With a vision to serve 200,000 African consumers in the next 5 years, Baridi aims to install over 60 solar-powered cold rooms in East Africa's meat value chain.
