They help preserve freshness, extend shelf life, reduce spoilage and minimize post-harvest losses.
As Nigeria’s population and cities continue to grow, food will increasingly travel longer distances. Lagos, with its rapidly expanding population, already demonstrates the scale.
This is where cold chain infrastructure becomes critical. Cold chain systems maintain appropriate temperatures through cold rooms, refrigerated transport, logistics hubs, distribution centres and retail networks.
Farmers, transporters and traders may all be working efficiently, yet food can still be lost before reaching consumers.
For a city like Lagos, this challenge is particularly important because much of its food is produced hundreds of kilometres away.
equal attention must be given to what happens after food leaves the farm.
Across Nigeria’s food producing regions, significant quantities of fresh produce begin to deteriorate during transportation and while waiting for buyers.
