Enabling Smarter, Sustainable Food Storage from Farm to Market
At ZibaHarvest, we provide climate-smart, affordable cold storage and drying solutions that are tailor-made for off-grid smallholder farmers and agribusinesses across Sub-Saharan Africa. Our innovations extend the shelf life of food crops from just 3 days to up to 26 days—unlocking increased income, food security, and environmental gains.
For Smallholder Farmers and Micro-Cooperatives
Zibabox is a passive evaporative cooling, solar assisted drying basket (500 Litres) designed for the last-mile farmer. It requires no grid electricity and offers a reliable, low-cost preservation method for perishables like tomatoes, greens, fruits, and tubers.
Engineered for optimal thermodynamic airflow and moisture removal.
Enhances airflow to maintain desired temperatures and humidity even on hot days.
Preserves freshness up to 26 days — a radical improvement from 2–3 days.
Designed for off-grid use with no need for diesel or grid electricity.
Lightweight, rigid and easy to deploy at rural farms, markets, or roadside stands.
“A game-changer for farmers who sell on their feet, not in refrigerated trucks.”
For Agribusinesses, Cooperatives, and Food Hubs
For Agribusinesses, Cooperatives, and Food HubsZibaVault is a containerized (5 meck m3) cold storage system hybridizing solar PV and radiative sky cooling, providing reliable 24-hour preservation with dramatically lower energy requirements.
Breakthrough Design:
Solar PV powers active fan-assisted cooling during sunlight hours.
Radiative Sky Cooling Panels offload heat directly into the sky—even under daylight—cutting cooling load up to 80–90%.
Radiative panels require smaller roof area than competitors using solar PV, reducing infrastructure cost.
Cuts carbon emissions, reduces reliance on diesel, and integrates with cooperative supply chains.
“The sky becomes your cooling ally—ZibaVault brings 24-hour cold chain innovation to the most underserved markets.”
“Whether you’re a farmer trying to sell your tomatoes without spoilage, or a regional aggregator preserving value through smarter storage, ZibaHarvest delivers the tools you need for the future of food.”
