Over five years, we’ve developed a practical, low-cost solution that tackles one of the biggest challenges in East Africa: food waste after harvest. Our technology empowers vendors to preserve more, sell more, and waste less. Africa’s First AI-Powered Cold Chain for Fresh Food, Freshpack delivers integrated cooling solutions portable boxes, solar display systems, and cold-carrier trucks all connected by FreshView AI to reduce food waste, grow incomes, and strengthen Africa’s fresh-produce supply chain. We’re on a mission to reduce food loss and empower vendors. At Freshpack Technologies, we develop simple, sustainable storage solutions that extend the life of vegetables helping women vendors protect their income and feed their communities. Post-harvest loss is hurting livelihoods. Every year, 40% of vegetables in Tanzania spoil before they’re sold costing women vendors over 26 billion TZS and worsening food insecurity. Smart cooling. No electricity. Real results. Our patented Freshpack box uses water-based fabric technology to keep vegetables fresh for up to 4 extra days reducing spoilage by 30%, increasing vendor profits, and making food go further.
