Small farmers who own only a few cows in most villages in India cannot sell their milk at a reasonable price because it quickly goes bad. As electricity is not reliable in most villages, milk goes sour within hours, especially during summer. The milk collectors who purchase milk from farmers also suffer from the same issue, and ultimately, both parties incur losses.
My plan is to produce small, solar-powered refrigerators that can hold milk for a day or two. They would not be too large, say 30–50 liters, and they could be kept at local collection centers. Farmers or collectors could hire them for a low daily rate, say ₹20–₹50, rather than spend money on a costly fridge.
By doing so, the milk will remain fresh, farmers will be able to bargain for prices in more leisure, and collectors won't suffer from spoilage losses. Eventually, this same mechanism can be applied to other perishable items like fish, paneer, or even medicines from villages
This is the gap MilkSafe aims to fill
