Fresh Flow Logistics in the Spotlight: Highlighting Homegrown Strength
Fresh Flow Logistics may not always make headlines, but in June it quietly reaffirmed its position as a trusted partner in perishable logistics. The team’s focus on client service and reliable cold chain handling kept fresh produce moving despite wider industry headwinds. It’s often the unsung consistency that makes the loudest impact.
Flower Exporters Push for Logistical Reform—in the Right Light
At Africa’s largest Flower Expo this June, industry leaders delivered a gentle reminder: Kenya’s floriculture sector is a global gem, but its export game still needs smarter logistics. Instead of flashy reforms, they advocated for clearer regulatory pathways and fairer access to air freight slots—removing inefficiencies, not rewriting the system. Their message to the Agriculture and Trade Ministries? Create space for Kenyan exporters to flourish, without unnecessary friction. Amid fluctuating freight rates and tightening EU standards, efficient logistics could mean the difference between blossom and bust.
Kenya’s Cold Chain Hiccups Keep Exporters on Their Toes
Not all of June was bouquets and breakthroughs. A report from The Logistic News revealed that cold chain infrastructure is struggling to keep pace with rising export demand ean-network.com. At Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), logistics teams find themselves scrambling—pallets of roses and green beans sometimes reach freight handling already slightly warm. As an operation manager soberly noted: “It’s not the planes that fail us, it’s the journey from pack-house to tarmac.” Just a few degrees of variance can cost heavily—in shelf life, contract trust, even cold hard cash.
But it’s not all grim: plans are quietly in motion. A second cold storage terminal at JKIA has been approved, and donor groups are lining up to support modern re-fleets of refrigerated trucks. Still, until those come online, exporters are keeping inventory cold with backup ice packs, manual checks, and old-school vigilance.
