Read the passage below carefully and answer the question that follows:

In 2015, social entrepreneur Nnaemeka Ikegwuonu launched ColdHubs in Nigeria to address post-harvest losses suffered by smallholder farmers. ColdHubs are solar-powered, walk-in cold rooms installed in major food markets and farm clusters. Farmers pay a flat daily fee of 100 Naira for each 20-kilogram crate of produce stored in the cold rooms. Powered by roof-mounted solar panels, the refrigeration units operate off-grid, maintaining a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius for fruits and vegetables. By extending the shelf life of fresh produce from 2 to 21 days, the technology reduces food spoilage by up to 80 percent, thereby stabilizing rural farmers' incomes.
