MangoNest
Modular, nested cold storage units for smallholder mango farmers in tropical regions. Units are powered by micro-hydro generators installed in irrigation canals, can be assembled DIY without specialized tools, and scale matryoshka-style—farmers start with one unit and snap on more as needed.
The Wow Moment
A farmer who used to watch 40% of their harvest rot within 3 days opens their first nested cooling unit, feels the blast of cold air powered by the water flowing through their own irrigation canal, and realizes they can now wait 2 weeks for the best market price instead of selling immediately at a loss.
