Across Sub-Saharan Africa, post-harvest produce losses range between 40% and 60%, largely stemming from inadequate temperature-controlled storage and fragmented logistics along the supply chain. The new Kigali facility addresses these systemic gaps by delivering an integrated solution that combines cold storage, packhouse operations, crop handling, and refrigerated logistics services. Beyond agricultural produce, such as export-oriented avocado processing, the facility provides specialized storage tailored for temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products. By reducing food waste, the infrastructure also mitigates greenhouse gas emissions linked to organic waste decay. ## Sustainable Design and Capital Partners [Cold Solutions Rwanda](https://www.linkedin.com/company/cold-solutions-rwanda-ltd/home/?ref=africainvestorreview.com) serves as the local operating vehicle for the [**ARCH Cold Chain Solutions East Africa Fund**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/arch-emerging-markets-partners/home/?ref=africainvestorreview.com), a specialist climate-focused platform advised by ARCH Emerging Markets Partners.

Designed around international environmental standards, the project includes a planned 440 kW rooftop solar installation and is targeting an internationally recognized green-building certification.
