ZECC is a low cost evaporative cooling option. They can store multiple crops at one time and help farmers maintain water weight in their crops, reducing wilting and quality diminishment that hastens crops' decay and reduces marketability. It can be easily constructed with local materials. Clay pot coolers also provide a smaller household option.
