• In the article: Kigali is the market destination for the produce, the site of Ox Delivers’ depot, and home to the ACES campus where cold-chain training happens. Charging infrastructure beyond Kigali is inadequate, limiting expansion.
• Why it matters: Kigali is the hub of the whole logistics story; the trucks’ reach is defined relative to it. More than a passing mention, though it is a hub rather than a scene.
