Efficiency for Access (EforA)
Abstract: CLASP engaged PManifold and Intellecap to evaluate and segment the market for cold chain technologies across four value chains (fish,dairy,meat,and fresh fruits & vegetables) in Kenya,India and Nigeria. The term ?Cold chain? refers to managing the temperature of perishable products to maintain quality and safety from origination to destination,thereby preventing textual degradation,discolouration,bruising and microbial growth. This research aimed to identify current trends,barriers,and opportunities for market transformation,as well as strategies to accelerate the adoption of cold chain technologies at scale. The goal was to identify existing cold chain technologies,business models and technical challenges and to quantify the existing cold chain infrastructure and opportunities for improvement.
