Fresh Produce & Flowers

Pre-cooling and cold rooms that turn rejected loads into export grade.

Mango, pineapple, tomato, onion and cut flowers lose value by the hour after harvest. Solar-powered pre-cooling and chilled storage cut the 30–50% post-harvest loss — and keep the chain unbroken from farm to airport.

The problem

What produce and flower exporters tell us.

Field heat is the enemy

Produce that isn't pre-cooled within hours loses shelf life and grade. Buyers reject, or pay less.

Cold rooms without reliable power are worse than none

A room that warms up overnight ruins a whole consignment at once.

Airport hand-off is where flowers die

The chain must hold from packhouse to cargo terminal, not just at the farm.

Diesel eats the export margin

Dollar revenue, but diesel-priced cooling. Margins disappear in the generator.

What we deploy for you

Designed around how your business actually runs.

Pre-cooling + chilled rooms

Forced-air pre-cooling then +2 to +8 °C holding rooms, 10–50 tonnes, zoned for mixed produce.

FAQ

Fresh Produce & Flowers questions.

How quickly can produce be pre-cooled?

Forced-air pre-cooling brings most produce to holding temperature in 1–3 hours depending on the crop and pack. We size the refrigeration for your peak daily volume.

Can one room hold flowers and produce?

Yes — rooms are zoned by temperature and humidity, and ethylene-sensitive crops are separated.

Do you install in Ghana and Kenya?

Ghana is a Phase 1 market and Kenya is next. Both take enquiries now; installation follows the free energy and cold chain audit.

What about the airport leg?

We design the packhouse cold room and advise on reefer or insulated transport so the chain holds to the cargo terminal.
