SOLOPerifresh works to increase the bargaining power of the farmers
Ice Make Refrigeration Limited (Ice Make), a leading supplier of
innovative cooling solutions and a manufacturer of over 50 refrigeration
equipment in India, has launched an innovative range of Solar Powered Cold
Storage Solutions for empowering the farmers and Farmer Producer Organizations
(FPOs).
In order to
solve the problems related to cold storage infrastructure in remote and
powerless areas, Ice Make has introduced " SOLOPerifresh "-brand, which works to increase the
bargaining power of the farmers by saving their perishable produce from getting
spoiled. Powered by green technology the eco-friendly system will enable them
to earn more income, prevent spoilage of their valuable produce, maintain
quality, freshness, increase shelf-life of temperature prone produce and
contribute in reducing carbon emissions and global warming. “SOLOPerifresh " is a long-term solution to the
farmers' lack of cold storage and low income problem. By adopting this powerful
solution, they can easily increase their "power of tomorrow" which
this branded standalone and portable solar equipment offers.
Mr.
Chandrakant P. Patel, CMD, Ice Make Refrigeration Limited said that “SOLOPerifresh” is a standalone portable refrigeration
system that effectively keeps perishable produce of farmers fresh till it is
sent to the market. It not only increases the shelf life of valuable produce of
our farmer but also enhances the bargaining power. This eco-friendly solar cold
storage is a medium sized unit with a storage room of approx 4-5 MT. It is very
useful solution for users in the areas where they face a long standing power
supply challenge.
According to
various reports from government and private stakeholders in the agri-supply
chain, while collectively our farmers produce several million tonnes of fruits
and vegetables annually, on the other hand, sadly, about 30 to 40% of this
yield perishes due to lack of adequate cold storage facilities and due to
continuous heavy losses our farmers are not able to become financially powerful
and prosperous.
However,
access and availability of this "
SOLOPerifresh " cold
storage infrastructure powered by green energy will enable our farmers to earn
more income, prevent spoilage of their valuable produce, maintain quality,
freshness, and increase shelf-life of temperature prone produce. This is the
reason why “SOLOPerifresh " is a long-term solution to the farmers' lack
of cold storage and low income problem. By adopting this powerful solution,
farmers can easily increase their "power of tomorrow" which
this branded solar equipment offers.
Describing
the additional beneficial features of "
SOLOPerifresh ", Mr
Patel further said, "Solar energy is one of the most beneficial of the
environment friendly energy sources and the green technology used in solar
powered equipment is incredibly effective in reducing carbon emissions. Ice
Make has always been a pioneer in encouraging the adoption of Go-Green
-Technology at multiple levels. Equipped with this smart green energy backed
device our farmers and farmer producer organizations can also contribute in
reducing carbon emissions and worrisome effects of global warming.
In addition
to " SOLOPerifresh ", the
company provides a full range of refrigeration solutions such as
transportation, commercial, industrial and ammonia refrigeration for various
industries and sectors of the economy including agriculture, milk and dairy,
food processing, pharma, health care.
