ARCH Cold Chain Solutions East Africa Fund LP

Compiled from public sources

The ARCH Cold Chain Solutions East Africa Fund LP is a greenfield infrastructure fund managed by ARCH Emerging Markets Partners. Its primary purpose is to develop, finance, construct, and operate temperature-controlled storage and distribution facilities (cold chain solutions) across East Africa. The fund aims to address the severe shortage of cold chain infrastructure in the region, which contributes to high rates of post-harvest food loss and impacts the distribution of sensitive products, such as pharmaceuticals and vaccines. By providing state-of-the-art facilities that incorporate off-grid renewable power and energy-efficient cooling systems, the fund seeks to reduce food waste, enhance food security, improve access to essential medicines, and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, thereby delivering both commercial returns and positive environmental and social impacts in East Africa.
