How Prefab Modular Cold & Freezer Rooms Drive Tanzania’s Key Industries Forward
At Africhill, we’ve spent over two decades helping African businesses grow faster and smarter. Here’s why smart businesses across Tanzania are choosing modular cold storage — and why Africhill is the partner you can trust to deliver.
Why Cold Storage Matters for Tanzania’s Industries
Agriculture — Fighting Post-Harvest Losses
Agriculture powers 27% of Tanzania’s GDP and employs around 65% of the workforce (AGRA, 2023). Yet post-harvest losses slice away profits.
Our modular cold rooms let farmers and cooperatives store produce like cashews, avocados, and coffee longer, slashing spoilage and maintaining high quality for local markets and export.
Mining — Protecting Supplies and Samples
Mining drives 10% of Tanzania’s GDP (Ministry of Minerals, 2023). In remote locations, reliable cold storage protects food, medicine, and critical samples from spoilage.
Africhill’s durable, fast-deploying containerised cold rooms offer safe, flexible storage — even at isolated mining camps.
Tourism — Keeping Hospitality Cool
Tourism contributes 17.2% of GDP in Tanzania (TICGL, 2024). Hotels, lodges, and safari camps depend on fresh food and beverages.
Our cold rooms are perfect for even the most remote sites. They’re neat, quiet, and fast to install, keeping your kitchens stocked and guests happy.
Manufacturing — Safeguarding Production
Manufacturing now makes up 8.4% of Tanzania’s GDP (World Bank, 2023). Whether it’s food, beverages, or pharmaceuticals, temperature control is critical.
Our modular cold storage provides stable environments that maintain product integrity and lower energy bills, helping manufacturers meet regulations and customer expectations.
