Urban Acres Company Limited

Driven by Innovation, Dedicated to Excellence

Urban Acres Company Limited is a Tanzanian company focused on developing and delivering solutions across the cold chain and agriculture sectors. Our services include cold chain solutions, temperature-controlled storage and rental, organic agriculture, and precision agriculture technology. We are not your average company. Our priority is our clients and their individual needs. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, we take the time to understand each client's requirements and develop practical, reliable, and cost-effective solutions that work for them. By combining industry expertise, innovative technology, and a client-first approach, we aim to create long-term value across the agricultural supply chain.

How We Started

Urban Acres Company Limited was established with a simple vision: to build a company focused on creating practical, sustainable, and innovative solutions for agriculture and the cold chain. As a sister company to Samfrost EA Ltd, Urban Acres was established as an independent enterprise, building on Samfrost EA Ltd's experience in the cold chain and refrigeration sector while developing its own distinct capabilities and long-term vision.

Our focus is built around four core areas: cold chain solutions, cold storage and rentals, organic agriculture, and precision agriculture technology. Together, these areas support our broader goal of helping businesses and farmers reduce waste, improve efficiency, and adopt more sustainable approaches to food production and management.

Our cold chain solutions and cold storage services are designed to address challenges in handling, preserving, and distributing perishable products. Through temperature-controlled infrastructure and flexible storage and rental solutions, we aim to help clients maintain product quality, extend shelf life, reduce post-harvest losses, and improve operational efficiency.

Within agriculture, we are developing organic and biological inputs, including seaweed-based biofertilisers designed to support plant growth and soil health. We also aim to produce tailor-made biofertilisers based on individual farm surveys, around each farm's soil, crop, and nutrient requirements.

Precision agriculture technology will enable farmers to make better, data-driven decisions and use resources such as water and nutrients more efficiently. By combining agricultural knowledge, technology, and practical solutions, we aim to help farmers improve productivity while using resources more responsibly.

At the heart of Urban Acres is a commitment to understanding the problem before providing the solution.

Our Mission

Our mission is to develop practical, sustainable, and innovative solutions that improve the way food is produced, stored, and distributed. Through cold chain technology, sustainable agriculture, tailored biofertilisers, and precision farming, we aim to help our clients reduce waste, improve efficiency, and build more sustainable and productive operations. We put our clients at the centre of everything we do, taking the time to understand their challenges and delivering solutions designed around their specific needs.

Our Vision

Our vision is to drive long-term sustainability and growth within Tanzania's largest industry: agriculture. We believe Tanzania is already an agricultural powerhouse, with the land, climate, resources, and people needed to produce at a much greater scale. We want to help make that powerhouse bigger, stronger, and more efficient. Through innovative precision agriculture, sustainable production, tailored biofertilisers, and advanced cold chain solutions, our goal is to unlock the country’s full agricultural potential, increasing productivity, reducing waste, and building a more sustainable and competitive agricultural industry. We also believe that progress comes through knowledge and collaboration. We aim to share knowledge, practical expertise, and modern agricultural practices with farmers, businesses, and the wider industry, helping build the skills and understanding needed to drive Tanzania's agricultural growth for generations to come.
