Materials used in building the refrigerator and how it works

In a YouTube video uploaded on The Ghanaian Farmer, the host, Enyonam Manye detailed the materials used in building the refrigerator and how it works.

''First of all, we have these bricks for building your house, then we have the wood and a fabric carpet for covering the wood. We have the outer bricks and inner bricks. Then we have these gallons for storing water. And then you have to get these pipe hoses.

''The essence of the gallons and the pipe hoses is to wet sand collected from the sea which holds water to cool the vegetables,'' she said.

The traditional refrigerator has been built with the capacity to cool the vegetable for three days to prevent spoilage before collection by the farmer to the market.
