Ivory Coast Community Infrastructure
Investing in shared drying infrastructure serving entire cooperatives, prioritizing community benefit over individual farm improvements.
Projects
Attribute
2 new drying facilities planned in partnership with local cooperatives
Partnership Overview
Côte d’Ivoire, the world’s largest cocoa producer, is where our next wave of impact begins — focused on building stronger infrastructure for quality and fair growth.
Implementation Process
Before installation, Green Pastures relied on diesel generators to run milking machines and chillers—costly, unreliable, and carbon-intensive. With rising fuel costs and local climate pressures, the farm needed a renewable solution to support its dairy operations.

2 new dryers under construction
100+ farmers expected to benefit in first phase
Challenges & Innovations
The high elevation of Eldoret meant cooler nights, which can slow digestion. We added thermal insulation and used slurry pre-warming to maintain optimal temperatures and microbial activity.
Conclusion
Biogas is more than a renewable energy solution—it’s a practical, cost-effective tool that empowers farmers to do more with what they already have.
From reducing fuel expenses to improving soil health and creating new revenue streams, the impact is clear. As more small farms adopt this technology, the agricultural landscape in Africa is being reshaped—cleaner, more resilient, and future-ready.
