Bas Hetterscheid from Wageningen University and Nico discuss Cold Chains in Africa and the role minigrids can play in their development.

The growing urban middle class in many African countries is demanding more fresh products, which may not be available close to the cities. Cold chains are required to make sure the products arrive at the market in good condition. Traders and processers of food products will soon look out for opportunities to source these products from slightly more rural areas. Where minigrid companies align their electrification activities with these plans from the food industry, interesting business opportunities may arise.
