Products and services

TUMIQUI Smart Kit

A portable solar power unit. Connect the panel, switch on, and the power is there. 147 units for UNICEF Gambia, 45 for IOM Gambia, and schools and health posts across Senegal.

Solar-powered cold storage containers and processing units

The company sells a 40 ft solar cold storage container, a cold storage, freezer and processing site, a food processing unit and the KIOSK. All of them run at the two Sandiara sites, 24 hours a day with no grid connection.

Processing and export of Senegalese mango

An estimated 50,000 tonnes of mango go to waste in Senegal every year. SUCRECUBE Japon processes part of that harvest with the women's group GIE DIAMI SANDIARA. The products are being promoted in Japan and France, and sample shipments to Japan have begun.
