Overview
Freshpack Technologies is a Tanzania-based packaging company founded in 2022. The company develops packaging solutions designed to preserve the freshness of agricultural products, operating from its headquarters in Dar es Salaam.
The company addresses post-harvest losses in Tanzania's agriculture sector. Agricultural products, particularly fruits and vegetables, experience significant spoilage between harvest and sale, reducing farmer income and limiting food availability. Freshpack Technologies has developed biodegradable packaging materials intended to extend the shelf life of these products.
Activities and products
Freshpack Technologies produces two main products: FreshPack BioBag and FreshPack SmartSeal. The company has partnered with local farmers to implement sustainable packaging practices using these solutions. The products are designed to reduce post-harvest losses through improved preservation of agricultural commodities.
Stage and funding
Freshpack Technologies operates at seed stage. The company secured seed funding from regional investors in 2023 to support the scaling of its operations. The company has been recognised as a promising AgriTech startup in East Africa.
