Food Infrastructure

Post-harvest infrastructure that protects value from farm gate to market

Much of the quality and margin in fresh produce is lost in the hours after harvest. AASAKA’s collection centres and processing facilities handle every post-harvest step in one connected system, with easy access to domestic and global markets.

What’s included

What food infrastructure covers

  • Collection centres

    Aggregation points close to where food is grown, so produce is received, weighed and recorded quickly.

  • Pre-cooling & temporary storage

    Remove field heat early and hold produce safely until it is ready to move on.

  • Grading, sorting & washing

    Consistent grades that match what each buyer has specified.

  • Waxing, pulping & value-add processing

    Turn surplus and second-grade produce into products with a longer shelf life.

  • Packing

    Packing for retail, institutional and export customers.

  • Quality control labs

    Centralised testing for quality and food safety at each stage, following post-harvest best practice.

  • Accounting & lot records

    Clear records for every lot: what came in, how it was handled and where it went.

Who it’s for

  • Farmers & producer groups

    A dependable place to sell, with fair grading and less produce lost after harvest.
