DESCRIPTION

A government authority in New York seeks a vendor to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study for scaling up fresh produce cold storage facilities throughout the city of Nairobi. The study will evaluate the technical, socio-economic, operational, financial, legal, and regulatory considerations of expanding cold room infrastructure.

The scope includes developing practical recommendations for city-wide expansion, assessing governance frameworks, and proposing operation and implementation models to facilitate growth. The vendor will also map potential solar-powered cooling storage users—including traders, aggregators, and transporters—while analyzing the current and future energy demand related to produce cooling in city markets.

Additionally, the study will investigate patterns in market demand by examining aggregation across various markets, peak and off-peak sales, waste demand, and produce seasonality to identify target customers and determine whether sufficient demand exists for scaling. A baseline assessment of existing refrigeration accessibility and usage among market vendors is also required.
