Silo Africa's Solar Storage Revolution Empowers Smallholder Farmers
Silo Africa, a Kenyan-based organisation, is transforming the lives of smallholder farmers across Africa. Founded by Faith Koki, the company aims to reduce post-harvest losses and empower farmers with innovative storage units near me and fair trade practices.
Silo Africa's flagship product, SmartSilo™, is a solar-powered, airtight grain storage system that eliminates the need for chemical preservatives. Equipped with real-time sensors, it tracks crop conditions, preventing losses from pests and diseases. In Kenya alone, where nearly half of crops are lost within weeks of harvest, this technology is a game-changer.
Silo Africa's innovative approach to post-harvest management is not only reducing losses but also empowering smallholder farmers. By providing affordable, sustainable public storage solutions and fair trade practices, the company is helping to lift farmers out of poverty and improve Africa's food security.
