Farmers

From selling in a hurry to selling on order

A farmer picks his tomatoes and has only a few days to sell them before they turn. Everyone harvested the same week, the market floods, and he takes whatever he is offered.

With CryoChain:

  • He gets an order with the price and pickup day before he picks.
  • Our truck collects at his farm gate, and his crop is cold within hours.
  • He is paid by mobile money within 24 hours, and can take part of it as fertilizer.

Buyers

From warm deliveries to fresh food on the day

A hotel in Accra needs two tons of good tomatoes every week, but nobody will promise them at a price, a grade and a date. What does arrive is often warm.

With CryoChain:

  • The chef orders in the app and sees the price, grade and delivery day first.
  • He follows the truck live and checks the temperature record on arrival.
  • Grocers, caterers, mining camps, exporters and buyers abroad order the same way.

Cold truck bookings

From a warm van to a cold truck for the day

A caterer has a wedding on Saturday, hundreds of plates to keep cold, and no cold van. In the heat, food and drinks start to turn before the guests even sit down.

With CryoChain:

  • She books a refrigerated truck for the day in the app.
  • She sets the pickup, the venue and the temperature, then follows the truck live.
  • The truck stays on site and keeps everything cold until the last plate is served.

Half the food Ghana grows never gets eaten.

A farmer picks his tomatoes on Tuesday morning. By the afternoon they are sitting in the sun at 32 degrees. He has no cold room, and the truck that comes has no cold box. At the same time, a hotel in Accra cannot find anyone who will promise good tomatoes at a price, a grade and a date.

The tomatoes did not get worse. He ran out of time. Across Ghana, 30 to 50 percent of fruit and vegetables are lost after picking, worth about $1.9 billion US dollars a year.

  3. Weighed at the farm

    Our agent weighs and grades each lot at the farm gate, on a phone that works with no signal.

  4. Cold within hours

    The crop goes straight into a cold truck within hours of picking, not at the end of the day.

    The truck logs its temperature all the way. The buyer signs for the order on arrival.

    An exporter orders one ton of yams for Thursday in the app.

  2. Four farmers fill it

    We share it across four farmers, 250 kg each. Each farmer knows the price and pickup day in advance.

  3. One truck collects

    Our truck stops at every farm gate. Each lot is weighed, graded and cooled within hours.

  4. Everyone is paid and served

    Each farmer is paid by mobile money within 24 hours. On Thursday the yams arrive cold at the exporter's packhouse, with the temperature record export buyers ask for.

Every load keeps a record

Every lot is logged at the farm: the farmer, the crop, the grade, the weight, the time it was picked, the time it went into the cold, and a photo. Trucks and cold containers report their temperature all the time, so a problem is caught while the load can still be saved.

  • Farmers see their weight, grade and payment.
  • Buyers see which farm their food came from.
  • Truck customers get the temperature record for their booking.
