Today I speak with Denis Karema, the founder of SokoFresh: a Kenyan agritech company providing solar-powered cold storage and logistics services for smallholder farmers.
What makes this story personal is where it starts. Denis’ grandma was a farmer. He saw firsthand how hard people worked on the land, yet how little progress was made over time. Later, through his work across accelerators and innovation programs, he began to understand that the problem wasn’t just farming itself, but everything that happens after harvest.
Despite millions invested in training of farmers, up to half of the produce was still being lost. That realisation - that the system, not the effort, was broken - is what ultimately led him to build Sokofresh.
In 2019, Denis founded SokoFresh as a venture of Dutch venture building studio Enviu.
Since launch, SokoFresh has built a network of cold storage hubs that help farmers reduce waste and improve income.
