Hub Spotlight: Building Material ColdHubs

Building Material Market is one of the most popular markets in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria. It was built for the exchange of building materials, just as the name implies, but a larger part of the market is used for the distribution of all varieties of vegetables and other agricultural products to markets across the country.

Every Tuesday, farmers and all the actors in the agricultural food supply chain assemble to exchange products for cash. Trucks are lined up as vegetables are uploaded to be transported to different states.

Our facility for building materials is a 3-ton capacity cold room, which can contain only 150 crates of vegetables and cannot serve the tons of vegetables in the markets. The customers are usually retailers in the neighboring community.

Building material is part of the market drafted for the installation of a 100-ton cold room to serve the large number of vegetables exchanged in the market, especially for distributors and large-scale farmers to store their produce.

Aisha Hassan is a female hub operator who coordinates all operational activities of the hub.
