OVERVIEW:

In conjunction with Kobo360—an e-logistics platform operating all over Africa that attach truckers to customers—TechEmerge will join innovators across the world with leading companies in Nigeria to guide renewable cooling solutions that lessen losses in supply chains, broaden access to TCL-dependent products and markets, and create a commercial association.
TechEmerge is here to display that state-of-the-art technologies and modern business models can make temperature-controlled logistics sufficient, affordable, and renewable in Nigeria.

Why TCL? TCL is critical for the manufacturers and consumers to take part in the $10+ billion global market for non-durable products. Presently, Nigeria estimate a small slice of that market, but it gives long-term opportunities for whoever enter at this emerging stage. Download our flyer.

Nigerian Market

Agriculture rated roughly 20 per cent of GDP and 50 per cent of jobs.

Nigeria’s food and beverage industry rated $100+ billion, with capable medium- to long-term prospects given its growing population, urbanization, and emerging middle class.

In 2017, the TCL market in Nigeria was rated $63 million, driven by fish and seafood rated (56%), fruits and vegetables rated (17%), meat rated (12%), pharmaceuticals rated (11%), and dairy rated (4%).

The TCL market for processed foods and beverages is presently not enough but has important potential for growth.

A growing population, particularly of young urban consumers with increasing levels of disposable income, is expected to exacerbate demand for TCL for perishable products. Growing incomes are linked to greater consumption of fruits, vegetables, fish, and meat products, all of which need cold chains that include processing, packaging, transport, and storage.

Nigeria, like many other developing economies country, is a very cost-sensitive market. It needs very innovative, cost-effective, economical TCL solutions capable of kick-starting adoption even for low-value commodities such as vegetables.

ADOPTERS

Our adopters are taking first in transport/logistics companies, truck owners, buyers of transport/logistics services, and service providers offering container with insulating and refrigeration units.
