ColdHubs is a brand that provides solar-powered cold storage solutions for developing countries. Their innovative solution, the plug and play modular, solar-powered walk-in cold room, addresses the issue of post-harvest losses in fruits, vegetables, and other perishable foods. This walk-in cold room, installed in major food production and consumption centers such as markets and farms, allows farmers to store their produce in clean plastic crates, which are stacked inside the cold room.

The use of 120mm insulating cold room panels and solar panels on the roof-top ensures that the cold is retained and the refrigerating unit is powered. With this system, the shelf life of perishable food is extended from 2 days to about 21 days, reducing post-harvest loss by 80%. ColdHubs also offers a flexible pay-as-you-store subscription model for farmers.

They can transfer their perishable foods into reusable crates and pay a daily flat fee for each crate stored. This not only helps in reducing food waste but also increases the income of smallholder farmers as they have more of their harvest available to sell. With a commitment to providing good customer care and friendly service, ColdHubs is dedicated to supporting farmers and improving the overall food supply chain in developing countries
