In todays time even when the food production has increased substantial amount of food is lost. Most of the food loss is noticed in post harvest and distribution stages. Many new initiatives are taken to introduce cold storages to reduce the food loss in the supply chain. In countries where grid infrastructure is not strong it is difficult to provide required amount of electricity for the cold storage. Arktiks cold storages are solar thermal powered to provide the amount of heat energy required to cool down the storage. These types of cold storages are independent of grid power and requires very little amount of electricity which is powered by solar panels.
The same cold storage can also be converted into drier to dry different food produce. This type of product helps in increasing the efficiency and a large quantity of produce can be dried continuously.
