Why Micro Cold Storage?
The soil in our project region is exceptionally fertile, rich in nutrients that are ideal for the production of vegetables and fruits. However, without proper storage solutions, a substantial portion of the produce goes to waste, leading to economic losses for farmers. Micro cold storage solutions address this challenge by preserving the quality and extending the shelf life of produce, ensuring farmers can sell their goods at optimal prices.
Solar Power
Harnessing renewable energy to provide cost-effective and environmentally friendly storage solutions.
Electricity
Utilizing reliable grid power to ensure consistent cooling.
Biogas
Leveraging organic waste to generate energy for cold storage, promoting a circular economy.
Storage Capacities and Power Sources
We offer a variety of micro cold storage units tailored to the needs of different farming operations. Our storage solutions range in capacity from 5 metric tonnes to 10 metric tonnes, accommodating various scales of production. These units are designed to be highly versatile and sustainable, operating on:
Benefits for Farmers
Income Increment
By reducing post-harvest losses, farmers can sell more produce at better prices, increasing their overall income.
Income Generation
Enhanced storage capacity allows farmers to explore new markets and sales opportunities.
Sustainability
Our green energy-powered solutions reduce the carbon footprint of agricultural activities and promote environmental stewardship.
