Leave No Food Behind
Leave No Food Behind
Across East Africa up to 40% of fish, fruits, vegetables and seaweed are lost immediately after harvest due to a lack of reliable postharvest infrastructure (e.g. storage, drying, cooling and processing).
This substantial food loss puts the livelihoods of millions of small-scale farmers, fishing communities and food vendors at risk while also increasing food shortages and the food insecurity problem in a region already struggling to feed its growing population.
At MAVUNO-PLUS, we tackle this problem with our innovative solar-powered food drying and processing hubs.
The hubs are 100% solar-powered and installed in close proximity to farming and fishing communities. The presence of these hubs in food collection centres ensures fresh foods are dried and processed in a clean, safe and climate-controlled environment thereby preventing food spoilage regardless of weather conditions
No grid, no diesel. Our facilities work entirely off solar energy perfect for remote farming and fishing communities.
Dramatically reduces postharvest losses across fish, seaweed, fruits and vegetables compared to traditional sun drying.
From 3 days with sun drying, down to under 8 hours with our technology
Designed for small-scale farmers, fishing communities and food vendors in off-grid locations.
“It used to take us three days to dry our Dagaa (Fish) with the sun (sun drying), but all that has changed, the moment we acquired MAVUNO-PLUS Solar Driers, now it takes less than 7 hours, and the Dagaa are clean and very appealing to customers”.
Our technologies and services not only align with the United Nations (UN) – Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) but also contribute to the realization of these SDGs beyond 2030.
