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.
- Fresh food spoils before it reaches buyers
- Frozen goods lose integrity in broken cold chains
- Export-ready products lose value because documentation, traceability, and trust are fragmented.
This is the hidden cost of inefficient food systems:
- Wasted harvests
- Weaker farmer income
- Food price inflation
- Rejected exports
“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.

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.
