Millennium Engineers Enterprises Ltd: Solar Powered Drying Facility for Sardine Value Chain in Lake Victoria Tanzania

Transitioning to a modern, environmentally friendly sardine value chain by investing in drying facilities and 1,500 fishing lamps, both solar powered. These are key investments to be made to reach scale-up in terms of dried sardine production (economies of scale), sales (increase of drying capacity enables MEE to meet growing market demand), social impact (providing fishermen with adequate, affordable and sustainable solar lamps) and environmental impact (MEE becoming self-sufficient in energy in its drying operations and thus independent from electricity from the grid).
