The prompt
A farmer cooperative in Kenya handles 1,000 tonnes of tomatoes a season and sells them at KES 30,000 (Kenyan shillings) per tonne. Without cold storage, 25 percent is lost. With a cold store and a refrigerated truck, losses fall to 10 percent. The cold chain costs KES 3 million a season to run and finance. Is it worth it?
