Agronomic Overview & Specifications
Post-harvest losses are one of the biggest threats to a farmer’s income. Tomatoes get crushed in sacks, French beans bruise in transit, and produce that looked perfect in the field arrives at market damaged and underpriced. Symnet supplies durable, food-grade plastic crates in Kenya that protect your harvest from farm to market and help you get the best price for every kilo.
Our crates are made from food-grade HDPE plastic and UV-treated to withstand the Kenyan sun. They are stackable for safe transport, nestable to save space when empty, and come in a range of basic colours.

Commonly Integrated Solutions
Greenhouses

Solar Freezers
Every farmer and trader knows the feeling: the evening milk that cannot reach the cooler in time, the tilapia that must be sold cheaply before noon, or the meat that spoils when the power goes off overnight. In the year to June 2026, Kenya Power customers averaged 3.91 power interruptions a month, almost four times the regulator's target of 1.10. In many rural areas there is no grid connection at all. Even where power is reliable, it is expensive. Domestic users pay a base rate of KSh 18.57 per unit before fuel and forex charges are added. A conventional freezer running day and night quietly eats into your profits. A Symnet solar freezer runs directly on sunlight and a battery. It keeps your produce frozen or chilled through the night and through outages, with no monthly electricity bill. You can store your harvest safely, wait for a better price and sell when you choose, not when spoilage forces you to. What You Can Store Milk : chill evening milk overnight for morning collection (use fridge mode, milk should be cooled, not frozen) Fish : tilapia, omena, Nile perch and sea fish from Lake Victoria and the coast Meat and poultry for butcheries and poultry farmers Fruit and vegetables : pulp, chopped vegetables and berries for value addition Ice and cold drinks for fish traders, shops and kiosks Who It’s For Dairy farmers and milk collectors Fishermen and fish traders Butcheries and poultry farmers Shops, kiosks, hotels and restaurants hit by blackouts Cooperatives, women’s and youth groups, and NGOs Note for clinics: vaccines need WHO-prequalified medical refrigerators. Talk to us about the right solution. Why Buy from Symnet? We size the freezer, panels and battery to your daily load and location, install the complete system with our own team, and support you through our Nairobi head office, Bungoma branch and agro dealer network. Book a free consultation and we will recommend the right solar freezer and kit for your farm or business. Solar cooling as productive use Cold storage gives a farmer or trader time, and time means choosing when and to whom to sell. Running it on solar removes the power bill and keeps it working where the grid is weak or missing. More on how we approach PURE .
