In June 2021, KTI Senegal was founded as a subsidiary of the KTI Group. The first industrial ice plant with a production capacity of 10 tons was opened in Diourbel in November 2023. The commissioning of another flake ice plant at the fish market in Pikine is planned for January 2024. The targeted expansion and development of further locations is planned for the course of 2024.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Opening<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The opening of the first KTI ice plant on the Sidio Group site in Diourbel (Senegal) was celebrated on November 7, 2023. The KTI flake ice plant produces 10 tons of ice every day. Due to the technical design and the use of the natural refrigerant ammonia, this ice plant is very energy-efficient. A photovoltaic system was installed by the company Off-Grid Europe. This can be used to operate the ice plant during the day. Around 100 people attended the opening ceremony. Some political dignitaries and representatives from Diourbel, Dakar and Germany also took part. First there were some speeches. Then the ice plant was opened by Governor Ibrahima Fall and KTI President Rupert Plersch with a silhouette and a demonstration of ice production for the guests. The motto for the afternoon was: “Chez KTI, la glace c’est la vie!”. This project is being funded as part of the Renewable Energy Solutions program of the Energy Export Initiative of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Food saved is just as important\nas food produced<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“Food saved is just as important as food produced. 80% of the 828 million people affected by hunger in 2021 lived in rural areas. Yet 70% of food in Africa is produced by smallholder farmers who own 1-2 hectares of land but are among the world’s poor, living on less than 2 dollars a day. Interestingly, the food lost and wasted can feed 1.26 billion hungry people per year. In 2017, around 12 % of the food produced globally was lost due to the lack of efficient cold chains, 63 % of which was in low-income countries. The loss of food due to lack of cold chains is also estimated to cause emissions of 1 gigatonne of CO2 equivalent, which accounts for a third of total global emissions from food loss and waste.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The ice plants from KTI work by using\u00a0components proven over many years\u00a0equally reliable and efficient – even under the most demanding conditions. All ice plants are developed and manufactured at our site in Germany. We source the material only from\u00a0tested suppliers. We choose all components very carefully. This leads to a\u00a0long life, even under the toughest conditions. Customers thus benefit from a\u00a0reliable and trouble-free operation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
