Project Summary / Description:

The Shelf Life Food and Farm Produce is not guaranteed for most farmers in rural communities thereby forcing them to lose 60% of their profit and livelihood for lack of preservation. 

GosolarAfrica responded by deploying a Solar Powered Refrigeration ColdKiosk systems at a Pay As You Go model while helping farmers extend the lives of their produce and improve their Livelihood.

Best Estimate of GHG Avoidance/Reduction of This Project (Tonnes CO2 Equivalent/Year):

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Solar ColdKiosks/GoFreezers intervention means helping to reduce hunger and food insecurity thereby strengthening the local food security, increasing nutrition and ensuring fresh fruits, fishes and vegetables are available all year round to power and support the Government. 

Women, youth and farmers will double their ratio of job creation. Productivity will increase across the entire Agriculture value chain. More women and youths will respond by becoming gainfully employed while reducing the rate of unemployment in the country. 

The introduction of Solar ColdKiosks/GoFreezers technology, there will be better awareness on the importance of using technology to improve the delivery of superior value and services across the entire value chain. 

Education and Capacity development around the importance and benefit of Solar Energy will be part of the delivery benefits to be derived from the project. Youths and qualified women will participate in the installation and management of all Solar ColdKiosks across the communities we operate. 

Our Initial target populations are women, farmers and youths primarily in the rural and remote settlement in Nigeria. We initially responding to be Fishermen and fish sellers in Ibeju, Epe and Badagry of Lagos; Food, Fruits and vegetables farmers in Oke Ogun, Oyo state
