Kerry Logistics Unveils Air-Sea Connectivity Solution Linking Europe and Oceania

As Africa’s global market presence grows, its production of flowers, fruits, vegetables, and meats stands to gain a significant edge through an enhanced supply chain ecosystem. The rising global demand for perishables presents Africa with an opportunity to leverage its rich agricultural output. Nonetheless, the continent faces hurdles such as stiffening competition, sustainability standards, traceability needs, changing consumer behaviors, and e-commerce impacts. Fostering sustainability awareness, embracing new technologies, forming strategic partnerships, entering new markets, and diversifying product offerings are key strategies. Consequently, logistics could serve as a pivotal differentiator, enabling African perishables to compete effectively on the global stage. Logistics providers are instrumental in ensuring these products reach international markets efficiently.

Moreover, many African regions still grapple with inadequate logistics infrastructure, such as roads, railways, airports, and storage facilities. Investment in infrastructure development and traceability systems is crucial to ensure the integrity and safety of perishable goods throughout the supply chain. These investments would allow logistics firms to adhere to international standards and enhance the global competitiveness of African products.

The global cut flower industry, poised to value at $39 billion by 2024 and projected to reach $63 billion by 2034, underscores the potential for African producers. Demand peaks, like the one during Valentine’s Day, highlight the importance of efficient logistics in meeting global demands. For instance, Swissport managed over 9,000 tonnes of fresh roses through its Flower Corridor from Kenya to Europe, showcasing the vital role of logistics in the flower trade.

However, African perishables face competition from other regions like Latin America and Asia, emphasizing the need for competitive logistics solutions. Kenya Airways, for example, is diversifying its perishable cargo movements, including expanding to the Middle East, to adapt to the changing market dynamics.

Addressing the complex challenges of shipping perishables from Africa requires a concerted effort from all supply chain stakeholders. Investments in cold chain infrastructure and technology for real-time tracking are among the solutions to mitigate spoilage and ensure product integrity.

The MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company has emphasized the challenges of cost-effective transportation options in East Africa, highlighting the need for improved road and rail networks to facilitate efficient cargo movement. Strategic partnerships and investments in infrastructure are vital for enhancing logistics operations and meeting the demands of global markets.

The disrupted nature of the flower supply chain, impacted by events like the Red Sea crisis, calls for adaptive logistics and supply chain strategies. As consumer behaviors shift towards sustainability and online purchasing, logistics providers must evolve to meet these new demands while exploring new markets to mitigate risks associated with unstable markets.

African logistics and infrastructure are at a crossroads, with significant investments and innovative solutions required to unlock the continent’s full potential in the global perishables market. As Africa continues to adapt and invest in its logistics infrastructure, the future looks promising for its role in the global supply chain of perishables and flowers.
