Why it matters

African agriculture needs more than production.

It needs better preservation, quality assurance and market access.

Preservation

Without the right temperature from the field onwards, produce spoils before it reaches a buyer.

Quality assurance

Buyers trust produce more when they can see a grade, a temperature record and where it came from.

Market access

A farmer who cannot store must sell at once, often at a low price, to whoever is nearest.

What we do

We protect the produce, then prove its value.

After harvest, we handle preservation, storage, grading, movement, tracking, delivery and export preparation.

Digital records prove its value.

Quality, temperature and custody records that buyers, banks and regulators can check.

  • Live batch record

    digital twin inventory

    A digital record of each batch, updated as it moves

  • Temperature and location tracking

    IoT sensors and GPS

    Shows where a batch is and how cold it has been

  • B-Score

    A quality grade you can compare between batches

  • Digital Product Passport

    A record of origin, handling and temperature

  • Smart Markets

    A marketplace of graded, verified produce

  • Export Compliance Packs

Founder message

Why I started AfriChill

I started AfriChill because I could not accept that a farmer's harvest could lose its value simply because the right infrastructure was not there. In Africa, post-harvest loss is not just waste; it is lost income, lost dignity, lost nutrition and lost national value. AfriChill is our response: a platform that combines cold-chain storage and fleet with digital traceability, quality scoring and export-readiness, so every crate can be preserved, verified, traded and trusted. The outcome is value preservation as impact.

Common questions

How do I start selling?

Tell us what you grow, how much and when it will be ready. We confirm pick-up or drop-off and storage.

How do I get paid?

When the buyer confirms delivery, we take storage and transport costs from the sale price and pay you the rest. Your statement shows every deduction.

Do I have to sell right after harvest?

No. Storage lets you wait for a better price and a buyer, instead of selling in a rush.

Can I order a specific product?

Yes. Send us the product, grade, quantity, date and place. We match it to graded supply.

Is every product eligible for export?

No. Export depends on the product, its handling, its documents and the destination's rules. In the readiness step we check these and tell you what to change, or whether to stop.

Is the AfriChill dashboard open?

Not yet. Until it opens, we handle orders directly with you.
