Editha Mshiu

Founder's Vision: Freshpack Technologies was born out of a visionary pursuit by our founder, Editha Mshiu. With a passion for horticulture and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by vegetable vendors in Tanzania, Editha set out to make a difference. Her four years of experience as a horticultural expert equipped her with the knowledge and insight needed to address a pervasive issue: post-harvest vegetable loss.

Editha Mshiu – A Pioneer in Horticulture: Editha, our CEO, is not just a leader; she is a pioneer in the field of horticulture. Her journey began with a commitment to empowering women in the vegetable sales sector. Editha envisioned a solution that not only preserved vegetables effectively but also transformed lives by preserving livelihoods.

From Concept to Reality: Editha's vision materialized in the form of Freshpack's patented smart fabric technology. Inspired by the human body's cooling system, this innovation has the power to revolutionize vegetable preservation in Tanzania and beyond. It reflects Editha's dedication to finding sustainable and impactful solutions to challenges that disproportionately affect women.
