Services built around your harvest
Five areas of work, from the first plan to handover. Not every project needs all five.
Cold-Storage Solutions
We plan cold-storage rooms and coordinate their delivery, including solar-powered systems where the site and the load suit them. Capacity, layout, cooling and energy are worked out against what you actually handle.
Who may need itNGOs, companies and large farms that need cold storage for farming communities or fast-spoiling produce, especially where the power supply is unreliable.
The practical problem
Cold rooms fail when they are the wrong size, sit on a power supply that cannot carry them, or are loaded and run without a routine.
What it involves
- Assessing the crop, volumes and seasons
- Choosing a capacity, layout and cooling approach
- Comparing grid, generator and solar power options
- Specifying the work and bringing in refrigeration and solar specialists
- Coordinating installation, commissioning and checks
Agricultural Infrastructure and Produce Collection Facilities
We plan and coordinate storage buildings, produce collection centres and selected small-scale processing facilities.
Who may need itNGOs, agribusinesses, cooperatives and large farms commissioning collection points, packhouses or storage buildings.
The practical problem
Produce is damaged or delayed at the point where it is received, sorted and held, often because the site was laid out without following how crates actually move.
What it involves
- Reviewing the site, access and utilities
- Laying out receiving, sorting, packing, holding and dispatch
- Setting the scope and a budget range
- Selecting and coordinating contractors
- Coordinating power, water and drainage connections
Post-Harvest Handling and Preservation
We help set up the handling routines that keep produce in good condition: how it is picked, cooled, sorted, packed and stored.
Who may need itOrganisations, farms and packhouses whose losses happen between the field and the store.
The practical problem
Good storage cannot make up for rough handling, delays before cooling, or unclear rules about what goes where.
What it involves
- Reviewing how produce currently moves from field to store
- Written handling and storage procedures, crop by crop
- Crate and packaging choices
- Hygiene and cleaning routines
- Record-keeping the team can keep up
Operations, Training and Project Handover
We plan how a facility will be run, write down the procedures, and train the people who will run it before we step back.
Who may need itClients and communities taking over a new or refurbished facility, and the people who will run it.
The practical problem
Facilities are handed over with a set of keys and a manual that nobody has read.
What it involves
- An operating plan and clear staff roles
- Procedures and checklists
- Hands-on training for operators
- Maintenance routines and a list of who to call
- A documented handover
Supply-Chain Coordination and Market Access Support
We make introductions to potential buyers and distribution partners and help coordinate logistics. We do not guarantee sales or contracts.
Who may need itCompanies, organisations and farming groups that want produce to reach buyers, but do not yet have the links.
The practical problem
Produce that is well stored still has to reach someone who will buy it, on terms that work.
What it involves
- Understanding what you produce and when
- Introductions to potential buyers and distribution partners
- Coordinating transport and cold-chain logistics
- Supporting conversations about specifications and delivery
- Planning for international shipments where relevant
Delivery
How we deliver
We plan and coordinate. Where a project needs refrigeration, solar, civil or logistics specialists, we bring in suitable partners and manage the work between them.
