Panim is a climate and agri-tech integrator connecting data, finance, and technology to unlock green growth and carbon value across Africa's supply chains.
Panim currently relies on third-party storage facilities, limiting inventory flow control, traceability, and energy efficiency.
Many existing facilities are energy-intensive, poorly insulated, and lack integrated monitoring systems for temperature, moisture, and product quality.
As operations scale, logistics inefficiencies increase costs by 10-15% and reduce market responsiveness.
Industry challenges
Kenya loses approximately USD 1.2 billion annually from post-harvest losses
Less than 10% of perishable produce benefits from cold-chain handling
Poor cold storage contributes to losses of approximately KES 150-200 billion annually
