|PAP Title=Commercial viability of “Solar-Powered Cold Rooms for Fruits and Vegetable Growers in Nigeria”
|PAP Region Africa=Sub-Saharan Africa
|PAP Country Africa=Nigeria
|PAP Organisation=The Smallholders Foundation / ColdHubs Limited (for-profit social venture founded by SHF), funded by GIZ „Sustainable Energy for Food – Powering Agriculture“
|PAP Description=In Nigeria, post-harvest losses reach up to 45%. The solar-powered cold rooms, developed by the Smallholder Foundation, help preserving perishable food and extending shelf life.

In order to assess the financial profitability of Cold Hubs, three business models were evaluated (the current ownership model as well as a potential third-party/user- and a franchising model). The pilot project has been implemented under the initiative “Powering Agriculture-An Energy Grand Challenge for Development” (PAEGC).
