Trusted by Industry Leaders to build the next generation of commerce

Our Purpose

Built for trust. Driven by impact.

Solthera powers the future of African trade through intelligence, infrastructure and technology; transforming fresh, frozen, and packaged products into verified, preserved, buyer-ready inventory for global markets.

VISION

A future where Africa’s premium produce is universally trusted, valued and recognised as a gold standard in global trade.

MISSION

To power global-African trade through supply chain intelligence and fulfillment; delivering real-time visibility, verified export compliance and digital chain of custody, from farmgate to shelf.

CORE VALUES

The Problem

Africa's food problem is not production, it is preservation.

Every year, billions of dollars in value disappear, not because food is not grown but because it is not preserved, verified, transported, or traded efficiently.

This is the hidden cost of inefficient food systems:

“Solthera exists to close that gap and retain commercial value across the entire supply chain”

THE IMPACT IS REAL

Food waste drives up prices

Farmers lose interest & trust

Buyers face unreliable supply

Market lose competitiveness

The Opportunity

Billions in losses. An $11B market waiting. One platform to fix it.

The biggest opportunity in African agriculture is what happens after harvest. Solthera fills the absence of a single, trusted, and integrated platform that combines: preservation, fulfilment, traceability, quality assurance and export readiness for African produce.

GLOBAL MARKET

$23.3B

Global food-traceability market is worth $23.3B, projected to double by 2034

Nigeria’s Post-Harvest

The Solution

Cold-Chain-as-a-Service

Solthera makes African produce commercially reliable.

Our CCaaS platform combines solar cold storage, refrigerated transport, shelf-life preservation, visual integrity stickers, and our proprietary technology platform, AfriChill OS, to protect value from farmgate to market; turning vulnerable produce into bankable, traceable, exchange-grade inventory.

Preservation

Modular solar-powered cold rooms (0–5°C, 10–13°C, −18°C to −25°C); 99.9% uptime SLA.

Stops the $3.7B bleed at source

Energy

4-tier hybrid: Solar PV → Lithium ESS → Grid Sync → Diesel Failsafe.

40–55% lower energy cost than diesel-dependent competitors

Mobility

GPS-tracked, IoT-monitored refrigerated fleet: e-motorbikes, e-trucks, hybrid long-haul.

The verified link between hub and buyer

Quality

Biological stasis, proprietary B-Score quality grading, and shelf-life indicators.

Converts local produce into export-grade, bankable inventory

Esg-Impact

Impact – Prosperity Through Cold Chain

Farmer Income: +25% Increase

Reducing distress sales, preserving quality during seasonal gluts, enabling timed market release for price arbitrage, stabilizing supply, and converting raw perishables into graded, buyer-ready inventory.

Women in Agriculture: Financial Inclusion

NCCG protects women’s trading margins by reducing spoilage, preserving grade, and helping them retain more income from each market cycle, while gaining the time leverage to sell on better terms and increase household income.

Waste Reduction: -35% CO2e

Reducing decomposition in landfills. Each hub prevents ~150 tons of food waste annually, earning valuable carbon offsets.

Food Security: Urban Price Stability

By capturing the 40% volume shrink currently lost to rapid spoilage, we stabilize the local food supply, preserve vital nutritional integrity from the farm-gate, and insulate urban centers from climate-driven price shocks.
