Daily Idea
LogiCold — Shared Cold Chain for Food SMEs
Shared cold storage and refrigerated delivery service for food SMEs that cannot afford their own cold room. Clients rent pallet spaces and book refrigerated delivery slots.
The Problem
Lack of cold chain in Africa causes 30-40% post-harvest food losses; SMEs cannot finance cold infrastructure alone.
The Opportunity
Demand for fresh products in African supermarkets grows 20%/year; local SMEs need affordable solutions.
The Concept
Shared cold storage warehouse (1,000 m³ at 4°C and -18°C) with refrigerated trucks for distribution, accessible by subscription or pay-per-use.
The "Secret Sauce" (USP)
- Shared model: 10x cheaper than owning cold storage
- Powered by solar-diesel hybrid generator for reliability
- App for booking storage space and delivery slots
Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
To get started quickly:Rental of a 40-foot refrigerated container with 10 SME clients, delivery by rented truck twice a week.
