Who We Are
Novel Farm Limited is an agri business company founded in Uganda in 2016 to serve the growing diary industry with efficient and sustainable solar technologies for milk chilling to enable them earn more incomes and reduces the losses caused by milk spoilage. After operating indormally for over 5 years, we realised that we were missing out on the benefits of being registered with government. In early 2021, the company was incorporated as a company limited by shares and is right now fully compliant with all government regulations and requirements for doing business in Uganda.
Our Mission
To transform working conditions and increase income generation of small-scale dairy farmers through extension of sustainable solar milk chilling technologies.
Our Motivation
More than 80% of the dairy farmers loose over 25% of their incomes through either milk going bad or unsold milk, and this is mainly due to lack of cooling solutions at their farms; since about 90% of Ugandans are off the grid.
Novel Farm provides a solar milk chilling technology to small scale farmers to ensure their milk is kept cool and fresh for consumption
Our system contains solar panels that power a freezer with a unique adaptive control unit for Ice making; the ice is then placed in specially designed milk cans together with the milk, and can preserve the milk for more than 12 hours.
Furthermore, our renewable energy cooling services are climate friendly and can be used off the grid. We also train and encourage cattle farmers on how to use cattle manure for bio gas production which generates heat for cooking hence reducing deforestation.
