KAHL and Lift Cargo to improve efficiencies in cool chain management

This partnership aims to revolutionise the global distribution of perishable goods and ensure that fresh produce reaches consumers in optimal condition.

Acting general manager, Peter Musola, said: "The partnership will leverage KAHL's state-of-the-art cool chain facilities alongside Lift Cargo's extensive client base. Together, we will create a seamless cool chain that minimises spoilage, reduces waste, and enhances the overall quality of perishable goods, elevating product freshness for our customers."  

The horticulture sector is one of the largest contributors to Kenya's economy, generating approximately 1.29 billion in annual export earnings, according to the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA). Flowers alone account for more than 70% of these exports, with Europe serving as the primary market.  

"Kenya's horticultural sector is one of the most vital components of our economy, and we are committed to supporting it through innovative logistics solutions," added Musola.   

"We are thrilled to partner with KAHL said Mr. Silas Kashindi, managing director of Lift Cargo Limited. This partnership with KAHL will not only improve the efficiency of our supply chain but also empower local growers by providing them with better access to markets and enhanced value for their products."
